Drain Cleaners and Related Systems and Methods

Abstract

A drain cleaner may include an extension rod. A cleaning member may be configured to couple with the extension rod, the cleaning member having one or more flexible members. The flexible members may in implementations include polymer fin-like structures, or in other implementations may include bristles. The cleaning member may have one or more slits therein configured to allow a pivot rod of a sink to pass through while cleaning a sink drain. A drain cleaner system may include a pipe cover configured to be coupled with an open end of a pipe, to prevent or reduce outgassing therefrom, during a cleaning operation. In implementations the cleaning member may clean the sink drain by squeegeeing an inner sidewall of the sink drain using one or more outer edges of the one or more flexible members. One or more rigid members or rigid adapters may be coupled with the cleaning member.
