Instant Power Heavy Duty Drain Opener 20 Fluid ounce Drain Cleaner Pour bottle

I only use Instant Power Drain Opener - it's the only brand that works every time. I usually use the black bottle - Hair %26 Grease, but the yellow bottle was on sale so I gave it a try. I usually only have issues with the shower drain (even using a hair catcher) %26 the kitchen/laundry room drain (they are on opposite sides of the house %26 a separate pipe branch than the bathrooms). Prevention is the best option for avoiding clogs - don't put anything that changes viscosity or solids in your drains %26 catching as much hair %26 lint as possible %26 you won't have to deal with clogs very often. This Heavy Duty formula worked well - I put it in the laundry sink as I have been getting some water coming up on the floor drain when the washer discharges %26 you can hear water gurgling up the pipe towards the kitchen sink. I didn't put it directly in the floor drain as I wanted to get the whole pipe between the sink/drain to hopefully clear out both at once since the kitchen drain hasn't had any water come on the basement floor. I generally leave the drain cleaner overnight %26 flush the drains when I get up. I've never had any issues with it not working. I don't have frequent drain clogs - maybe once a year, if at all in that timeframe. I use strainer baskets in the kitchen, hair catchers in the showers %26 a lint filter on the washer's discharge hose - so I catch most problem creators before they get to the pipes. I used to have to buy multiple bottles of the other brands every time I had a clog - which was quite often before I tried Instant Power. The Instant Power products use lye %26 I have found them to be the solution to my drain problems from slow drains to clogged drains. Just follow the instructions on the bottle %26 make sure you use rubber gloves %26 follow the safety tips. Pour it slowly so it doesn't splash- safety first. I have never had a lye eruption, but I do still cover the drains with a disposable plastic/paper cup, old plastic food containers (dips, cookie dough, ice cream pail, etc) or the measuring cup I bought just for the drain cleaner. I just throw the container away when I flush the drains. You do have to dip the water out of the sink/tub if there's staning water, but none if the cleaners work when they are diluted that much. Thankfully, I haven't had to call Roto Rooter to snake the main sewer pipes in my house in years! I definitely recommend trying the Instant Power drain opener products. The other brands pretty much just flow through whatever openings the drain has %26 they do nothing for cleaning the walls of the pipes. The Instant Power products with lye do a much better job!
