My kitchen sink backs into my bathroom sink once a year. The plumber says its roots. I dont beleive him. This year, I wasnt spending $700 for them to come out and clear the lines. Since december I have tried zap stuff, twice and it didnt work. I borrowed a snake, snaked thru the entire line, didnt work. I almost gave up and called a plumber but decided to come on Amazon and look at reviews on drain cleaners. This product does NOT disappoint!!! It arrived about 2 hours ago. I heavily armed myself with protective gloves, eyewear and old heavy clothes. (My dad scared the life out of me about this stuff being very dangerous) I read the directions about 40 times before I was confident enough to use it. I really didnt want to burn an arm off or worse, cause my pipes to melt causing me more money that I dont have. Ok. I followed the direction for a slow drain. First I boiled water and sent that down the drain a few times as it says to "warm the pipes up" then I used one cup of this miracle stuff in each drain. It fizzed, hissed and reminded me of the science experiment in middle school of an exploding volcano that only half works... it erupted, slightly. Then all settled and I waited, and waited. I didnt want to jump the gun at just 15 minutes. This was some major clog we were working with. So while I waited, I started boiling water in ever big pot I had on all my burners. Alexa rang and my time was up! I started off pouring the boiling water SLOWLY down the first drain I dropped the product down. Nothing. No fizzing, no exploding. It just kept draining. Shocked. I ran to my kitchen and started dumping water down the drain... surely it would back up into my bathroom sink again... three gallons down the hatch... i run to the bathroom... it's clear! Holy moly! I put this stuff to the test. I run both the sinks hot water full blast down the kitchen sink and bathroom. Now I'm running back and forth like a crazy woman but guess what! Nooooo clog, no water pooling, nothing. I'm so amazed with this product. For weeks I have been stressing about not having the money to fix this, but after spending under 6 bucks on this stuff I am floored. I will NEVER buy any other drain cleaner again and neither should you! This stuff is a game changer!

Had high hopes for this product to clear my very slow moving sink drain. As I had watched videos and read previous reviews saying/showing that it does the job. But this isn't the case for me didn't work at all and I tried using it 3 days in a row to give it a chance. You do get a lot of product in the bottle and the instructions are clear. But my drain is stubborn still hunting for a product that works this is the 4th I have tryed.

Let me first state that you need to follow all safety precautions when using this product. Gloves, Eye protection etc. I had an issue that has been ongoing for years - the washing machine would drain and water would back-fill into the kitchen sink then slowly drain out ok. Over the years I had plumbers come and snake the line from the kitchen and this would either solve the problem for a while or just not even work very well. Snaking does not get rid of anything, it just moves the gunk around. My house is 50 years old and I assume the pipes were filled with grease and lint combo that had gotten to a point where the pipes should have been replaced. I tried everything over the last few months. All the liquid plumbers, worthless enzymes etc etc. Literally wasted a few hundred dollars on all that. Nothing worked. The problem got so bad that water was now backing up into the washer drain pipe as well. I had to stand next to the washer during the drain cycle and stop the draining then start it again. I was almost ready to give up. I kept searching on Amazon and this Lye stuff showed up in the search result. I never heard of it before. I bought two of these and will now explain what my procedure was: Put on gloves and eye protection. Put about half of one container into a bucket. Added about 6 cups of cold water. Used old wooden chop sticks to slowly mix it. It will get really warm. Poured it slowly into the KITCHEN sink. Did the same thing again with the rest of container one and poured it into the WASHER drain pipe. I did not allow any water after that to get into the pipes for the whole night. I pre-poured water into buckets for washing hands and even late night pee runs were done in a bucket pre filled with water. I did this process for two nights in a row using both containers of this lye I bought. The next day I filled the kitchen sink with VERY hot water and dish soap. Let it drain. This was done each day so a total of twice. The problem stated has been completely solved. I can run the washing on full load and run the kitchen faucet at the same time as the washer drain cycle and there was no back-up of water. UNBELIEVABLE!! This was my last chance, if this didn't work then I would probably spend thousands to just have those outgoing pipes replaced. Thanks to the people who make this product.

Product work great I do highly recommend it .
