- Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2025Size: 32 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseA solid option for standard drain clog. Use all safety practices labeled to avoid unwanted exposure- cover hands, eyes and keep area well ventilated area. Bottle has safety cap to secure unwanted entry or spills- the smaller size bottle is ideal for easy lift control and pour purposes.. and it fits on storage shelf.
GEL is a BIG perk.. bc of consistency, it slowly moves and clings to issues vs. splash the clog as it races by! Easy to use: after running hot water thru the system.. pour needed gel amount down drain and wait!
We start with x2 cups of gel for extended length of time. Following the listed tips- we rinse with boiling water to aid removal of soaps, cleaners, shampoos. As stated: If clog is not fully clear-repeat process x1-2 more rounds. We find it so helpful to use a drain hook device to continually stir and dislodge any portion of clog before/after each treatment. Be patient- it may take a bit of time to be effective but, it works!!
Overall, the actual GEL has proven the best option bc of ability to cling onto debris and work the problem.. I find with little trial/error- this can aid common clog scenarios. X4 star for overall results- x5 star for gel option and pricing. Hoping info can help others.. stay safe everyone.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2024Size: 80 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)Verified PurchaseEDIT: I just got more of this and the carrier was not careful with the box and when I picked it up it was moist and had a strong, almost like scented bleach smell. STILL washing my hands as while it's not burning, it's tingling. When I actually use the gel I wear gloves, but you don't expect the box you receive it in to be damp on the bottom!
_______________________________________________
My experience and my skill set!
First, I'm a woman in her 70's who has had to figure out stuff on her own (basically online)
I had a slow running shower. It would drain, but even a quick ten minute shower would fill the tub about up to my ankles and when you think of that water is from whatever is backing up your drain...ew.
IT would drain within about 15 mins after shower, but hated standing in any water.
Like others have said, I would IGNORE the directions and leave in longer. When I take a shower tonight, I will see if the water is moving as fast as I want it to. I notice in the bullet points, it says you can leave product in overnight.
I got two of the LARGE 80 oz bottles.
I put HALF of one in and let sit 30 mins, didn't add water, I then just poured the other half in.
I let that sit about an hour and half, so total two hours and used a whole bottle.
I thought about leaving in longer, some said they left in overnight, so like 8 hours, some said they left in 24 hours. Well, I live in a one bedroom condo with one bathroom, one shower/tub, so....
I shut the door as I have two curious cats while it did it's thing.
I started pouring really hot tap water at first, wasn't really moving that fast, but I did that a bunch of times, then I heated water in a small pot (I have cats underfoot and in my 70's and have to walk from kitchen to bathroom with uber hot water, so I didn't want to take biggest pot to try to do this).
I noticed after a few times with really hot water (when bubbles start to form at bottom of pot, doesn't have to be rolling boil), the water was going down quicker.
Makes sense. I figure the gel LOOSENS it, but the more and the HOTTER the water, the quicker through the pipes.
Now, if I had LEFT it sitting for 8 or 24 hours before putting water down, would it have helped more? MAYBE. But I think the close to boiling water being poured in helped move it along.
The gel is obviously strong. I actually have some safety goggles someone gave me and i used plain disposable gloves just to be cautious. AND I would keep your kids and pets AWAY til all is resolved and you've cleaned out any residue from tub/shower.
TIP! While I am sure this LOOSENED clog, built up shampoo or soap, the BOILING WATER is what always seems to really make it work. SUGGESTION Once you do clear your drain, every day or so just take a pot of boiling water and pour down drain! THIS will help keep clear longer and build up down especially if it's just from product buildup. Can't say if there is a lot of hair clogging drain (I have very short fine hair, so it's product build up from shampoo and soap) the hot water alone would help. But putting boiling water down drain at least every few days or even week, well think about it, boiling water dissolves.
_________________________
Bottomline: after doing several of the small pots of super hot water and then running the tub with the stopper open for awhile, the water is moving pretty darn fast.
But my takeaway after reading a ton of reviews, leave it in longer than it says. I didn't even have STANDING water, tub/shower was empty of water when I poured in and it still took me MANY pots of water (I could tell it was starting to go down as it kind of burbled/bubbled) to get the job done.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2025Size: 80 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)Verified Purchasenot good for pipes, but that’s a given. definitely works for a temporary fix. breaks down anything in drains. removes clogs fast.

It is always an amazing price especially for the quality of drain clog remover you are getting. Highly recommend buying this from amazon any day. I always keep some on hand to clean my drains once a month to help maintain no clogs. Especially being a new first time home buyer, I don't want to have to deal with any costly repairs at this time. It only makes since to purchase this through Amazon!!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2025Size: 32 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseWorked like a charm. Didn't really follow the directions. Just dumped the bottle in our sink that was 90% clogged & took forever to drain before we went to bed and in the morning, the drain worked great. Not sure how fast acting it is as we gave it more than enough time but works great when done over night.
