Green Gobbler Drain Clog Dissolver, Drain Opener-Cleaner ,Toilet Clog Remover, 31 oz

This worked GREAT on our bathroom sink, which has drained slowly for years. I didn't want to use regular drain cleaners as I heard they could damage the pipes, so every few months I would pour baking soda and vinegar in the sink, and it would drain better for a while. Finally that trick stopped working, so I searched YouTube for how to manually clean a sink drain. It seemed straightforward enough, since I was pretty sure our drain issue was a standard p-trap clog, but as you can imagine it never seemed like a great time to take the sink apart. So back to the internet I went, looking for alternative drain cleaners.I ended up buying two enzyme cleaners, Green Gobbler and SoFresh. SoFresh arrived first, so I used it as directed, three treatments out of the recommended five, before the Green Gobbler arrived. SoFresh definitely improved the situation and the sink was draining faster already. But I'd read great things about the Green Gobbler, so I poured half the bottle in the sink and waited 24 hours (it was only one treatment, so it seemed like nothing compared to the other cleaner).The instructions said to run hot water for five minutes afterwards, and I thought, well I won't be able to do that because the sink will fill up. And indeed, although the sink showed further improvement and drained even faster than before, it still filled up. So I ran hot water until it filled, let it drain, and ran hot water again. After three minutes of this, there was a glugging sound and the water suddenly rushed down the drain! The sink drains normally now, with water running down the drain as fast as it comes out of the tap, for the first time since we moved in!Now, to be fair, we didn't have a complete clog, just a slow drain. But it was an increasingly annoying slow drain, and I'm sure the sink would eventually have stopped draining at all. For the low cost of $20, a day without using the sink, and a few minutes of running water, this process could not have been easier or cheaper. I'm recommending Green Gobbler to everyone.(Also, since Amazon is asking me how it smells and how thick it is: it smells very neutral, like... nothing. The sink also smells neutral, as a sink should. The Green Gobbler is thicker than the SoFresh I tried, but the bottle says it's the density of the liquid that matters, not the thickness, because it sinks to the bottom of standing water to work at the source of the problem. So I wasn't judging it based on viscosity, just effectiveness. It was VERY effective.)

I am beyond impressed with Green Gobbler Drain Clog Dissolver. My bathtub was completely clogged, and nothing else worked. I poured in just half a bottle, left it overnight, and by morning the drain was flowing perfectly again. No mess, no hassle – just results! This product is absolutely worth buying, and I’ll definitely keep it on hand for the future. Highly recommend!

I used this for a sink drain clog and it did work to get rid of the clog almost instantly. I was impressed, especially because it is septic tank safe. I have a septic tank and there has been no issues since I have used the product. Therefore, I will use it again in the future for bad blockages and I have one on hand just in case of an emergency.I will note that, whatever was blocking the drain in the immediate area was removed. However, that "melted" or attacked clog must have moved just a little down the pipe. It still runs slower than normal. It is better than with the clog, but I think another application is necessary. I know that it is still the clog and not something else with the pipe because the sink in question (laundry room) is 10-12 feet to the left from my main drain leading directly to the septic pipe which leads out of the house. On the other side of the wall is a bathroom sink drain which is about 15 feet to the right of the main drain leading directly to the septic pipe. The main drain is in a small utility room between the sink in question and the bathroom sink drain. The sink in question still runs slow, and the bathroom sink which clogs right into the same pipe at the same spot is running as fast as can be. The sink in question runs slow though after a little while, as if there is a buildup before the main drain and the water going down the sink has to buildup in the pipe before I see it backing up in the sink. So perhaps I need to use this product again, or perhaps the product just melted or dissipated the clog and pushed it further down the pipe. I don't know.Therefore, my guess is I need to hit the drain again. This product is more expensive but it is septic safe. I don't know how many applications in a rapid period the septic tank can take, so I will need to wait a little before reapplication.Overall, it is a good product. I would probably buy it again. But I would not expect this to be a one and done miracle cure. In a jam, THIS WORKS. Long time, might need several applications which means $$$. If you have a septic tank, this might be your other option. If you do not, this might not be the option for you--use the more powerful stuff.
