Heat up a pot of water(i use a brining pot) to a simmer, pour it down any drain and that clog is gone.

You don’t need to boil anything and the exact temperature does not matter.

fill a big pot with tap water, heat it up to a near simmer, dump it directly down the drain.

That’ll give the clog a good punch and the weight of the next gallon or two you heated up will get rid of the rest of it.

    If you have a wet/dry vacuum, you can also just suck out the water and the clog. This works well for shower or tub drains that are likely clogged more by hair than oil-based substances.

        Yeah. I work in a high-rise and it’s a common practice by maintenance.
