No, you should never pour Drano or harsh chemical liquid drain openers into a clogged garbage disposal. The caustic chemicals can splash dangerously back up out of the rubber splash guard when the unit is turned on, and the corrosive liquids can damage internal rubber seals, destroy metal grinding components, and pit the stainless steel housing. Furthermore, if Drano fails to clear the clog, using a mechanical tool later becomes hazardous. Callout type="warning" title="Hygiene Warning": Wear rubber gloves and safety glasses if you must service a disposal manually. Verification: Always clear disposal clogs using a hex wrench manual crank from underneath rather than chemicals.
