Is it safe to mix Liquid-Plumr® products with any other product?
Do not use Liquid-Plumr® products with ammonia, toilet bowl cleaners
or other non-Liquid-Plumr® clog removers, as splashing or the release
of hazardous gases may occur. We do not recommend using Liquid-Plumr®
drain openers with non-Liquid-Plumr® products. It is safe to use
any Liquid-Plumr® product in the same drain.

Can I use Liquid-Plumr® drain openers in my dishwasher?
Unfortunately, we cannot recommend using drain openers in a dishwasher.
Dishwashers frequently use rubber attachments for draining, and drain
openers may damage the rubber.

Can I use my plunger with Liquid-Plumr® drain openers?
We would not recommend using a plunger when a drain opener is in the
drain. There is a possibility that plunging will cause the product to
splash back and get on you or your clothing.

types of sinks.

all cases, call a doctor or poison control center.
