I also don’t know why someone would pour Drano into a cup before pouring it down a drain. Then again, I don’t use Drano.

As the story said, to prevent it from splashing, which it often does if you pour it directily into a clogged drain with standing water in it.

I found this out the hard way and burned spots on the skin on my hands. Glad it didn't splash up into my eyes.

Thanks. A few other posters here said they pour theirs into a cup first, too.
