drano is an enzyme that breaks up hair and shit, it may work for grains, BUT, clear out the actual drain by using a spoon, then use a plunger, if a plunger doesn't work, use drano, then after an hour, go at it with a plunger again.

You should really be using some sort of screen over your drains :smile:

A few rounds of plunging worked for my kitchen drain. You could also get a cheap drain snake from the hardware store.

Be careful when plunging after using draino. It is very very caustic and will give you a hell of a burn to your eyes and face.

Is it mushroom related?  I'm curious why you'd have bird seed in the bathtub. :shrug:

Use a toilet plunger to unstop the bathtub drain.

he probably rinses the birdseed in the tub instead of the sink.

this is why you should always use a sink with a garbage disposal. just grind your problems away.

Plunger, LOL.

My advice for the future: buy a trash can, put a bag in, put it on a stack of pgonebooks and soak your whatevers in that. Then siphon off the water with a length of garden hose ending in a sock.

If you can think something like this up in a minute, why clog your bath tub drain?

Try red devil lye. It's a powder it comes in a plastic jar with a screw top lid. Most stores have it in the isle with the cleaning shit. It's used to dissolve sludge from the walls of pipes generally people use it if their sink or tub drains too slowly (caused by a buildup of sludge). Works much better than draino. Be very careful it's much more caustic than draino.

I always have just used a plunger. Actually if anything, after plunging a few pounds worth down the drain (granted, some work), my drain works far better than it did.

Yes, this is old. I didnt want to waste space by startig a new thread. I have the same problem (my 10 yr old decided it was too hard to clean the cage outside or pick up the seed out of the tub before rinsing it down the drain) and I didn't see a solution to this one. Any advice is appreciated. Thx in advance.

Definitely snake it. You don't want to use a bladder on a hose or a plunger as the p trap under the tub is a fragile thing.

Yeah no plunger for sure. I got me a saw toothed rip cord like thing that works like a snake but better. Instead of pulling everything up, it cuts it up in the drain and lets if flow down. Its saved my tub a few times from nasty stuff like straw.

Wait.. wait... Is this a totally non-cultivation related question?

This is about bird seed that's actually used for feeding birds?

Whatever get's his question answered I guess:shrug:
