Can dish soap unclog a bath drain?

Dish soap can sometimes help with minor blockages by lubricating the pipes and breaking down grease. Pour a generous amount down the drain, follow with hot water, and wait 15 minutes. This method works best for fresh, minor clogs but won’t be effective against established hair blockages or serious obstructions.
