Product Information

Enzyme based cleaners will digest any obstruction in their way, and shouldn’t have any effect on your pipes. In this instance, all you have to do is adjust the amount of each component you add. Thus, in the bathroom, you’ll add a 2-1 ratio of bottle B to bottle A, and in the kitchen, you’ll invert the ratios. There is a minimum time requirement, which in this case is one hour. However, as we always recommend, leaving it overnight is your best bet. If you’ve tried boiling water and other options before trying this extra strong one, leaving it overnight is probably your best bet. Some drain cleaners come in small single-shot bottles. You are supposed to pour the entire bottle down the drain.

If getting the job done fast is what's important to you, then have a bottle of this waiting under your sink.

Wipes, feminine products, and even condoms do not degrade when exposed to water.

It can cause serious eye damage and skin burns. Always wear gloves and eye protection when using it. Mr Muscle Max Gel comes in two 1-litre bottles. The amount you’ll pour down the drain depends on the extent of the clogging. A substance that under defined test conditions when dry or under the effect of flame or heat may explode.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you’re cooking something that leaves a lot of fat on your pan, put it in a container and throw it away since fat is heavier than water and attaches to the U-Bend in your plumbing system, eventually clogging it. This one is a bit pricey – if you buy a single bottle – but it’s very effective at clearing hair, scale, soap and biofilm. Though not as powerful as the Scotch Corporation cleaner, there’s nothing the Green Gobbler won’t clear given enough time. The manufacturer recommends letting it work for 25 minutes. But you can leave it for longer if you want. Given its potency, exercise extreme caution when handling it. One customer learnt the hard way how dangerous the cleaner can be especially if it gets in the eyes.
