Comments on Daphne's review of Drainbo Natural Drain Cleaner
Drainbo Natural Drain Cleaner
Description: Biodegradable drain care treatment.
This stuff really works, if you use it right!
I had a very slow drain-- not fully clogged, but very slow-- in a bathroom sink. Tried other products first (the roto-rooter recommended enzyme) and didn't work at all. Before bringing the plumber in, decided to try Drainbo. Just to give it a fair chance, I used MUCH more than recommended-- I think -3 cups of drainbo in 3 quarts of warm water. I did follow instructions, and let it sit 15 minutes to "activate" the microbes. Poured it down the drain, and let it sit overnight. In the morning, boiled up a huge pot of water for the morning-after flush. Poured several gallons of BOILING water down the drain. The drain sort of hiccuped and cleared!! Kept running the hottest water possible for several minutes, just to clean things out. It was fantastic. Did it one more night, just to be sure to process everything, and the drain is now running just like it did when first installed!
I think the key is to use enough of this stuff to give the microbes a chance, and to make the morning flush long and very very hot. I will keep some of this on hand all the time, just as insurance. I think this was 7 or 8 bucks at Whole Foods, and since it works, that is reasonable. I am VERY VERY happy with how this worked!
