For the best results and lowest risk, it
For the best results and lowest risk, it is recommended to create a solution rather than pouring dry powder directly into the drain.
The dangers of using caustic soda cannot be overstated. First, it poses a severe physical hazard. The heat generated can soften PVC pipes or crack old ceramic ones, and the chemical itself can burn skin, eyes, and lungs on contact. If splashed, it causes immediate, deep, and painful chemical burns. Second, it creates dangerous fumes. The reaction releases hydrogen gas and vaporized caustic mist, which can damage respiratory tissue. Third, there is a critical environmental and plumbing hazard: if the caustic soda fails to clear the clog, it leaves a highly corrosive pool of chemical in your pipes. If a plumber then needs to use a mechanical auger (snake) or remove the trap, they risk being splashed with this dangerous liquid. Many professional plumbers will refuse to work on a drain that has had caustic soda poured into it without explicit warning.

I built Shoebox for my family because I was tired of losing precious memories in cluttered group chats and my messy camera roll. I'd constantly tell myself "I'll share those photos later," and never did. My family was the first to test Shoebox, and it's transformed how we stay connected through photos. I hope it does the same for yours.
