Mr Muscle Drain Unblocker, Drain Cleaner Power Gel, 1 Litre (Packaging May Vary)

Product Information

Popularity isn’t always a sign of quality, but market leader Mr Muscle really is the best of the bunch. Remove as much standing water as possible before slowly pouring the entire 300m bottle through the plughole and wiping away any residue. It’s also effective against soapy sludge, bath oil, and toothpaste, all of which can cause bathroom blockages.

The unblocker is ready to use right out of the box, which means it doesn’t need to be diluted before use, reducing the risk of splashing or other spillages. Granular unblocking chemicals might cause more harm than good, so choose for a liquid solution that is also potent. On the other hand, these Chemical-based cleansers work by causing a reaction with something causing the clog and then removing it by producing gaseous heat.Thus, in the bathroom, you’ll add a 2-1 ratio of bottle B to bottle A, and in the kitchen, you’ll invert the ratios. Nonetheless, it’s important to remember to read the instructions for the unblocker you’ve chosen attentively. When you use this product don't leave it in the pipes for more than 20 minutes, make sure you wear gloves, don't get any on your skin and open all the windows in the room. With a formula that clears drains 3x better than bleach**, getting rid of blockages and their unpleasant odours, Mr Muscle® Power Gel is the plughole unblocker that allows you to clean less and live more. During our tests, the Ecozone Kitchen Drain Unblocker did work to remove the clog from our pipes but it took a very long time.

Using a freestanding catering sink, we got one 44mm U-bend per test and stuffed it with a clog made from equal parts grated broccoli, melted lard and breadcrumbs, which we then allowed to harden for 12 hours.With a formula that clears drains 3x better than bleach*, getting rid of blockages and their unpleasant odours, Mr Muscle® Power Gel is the plughole unblocker that allows you to clean less and live more. This two-part mixture works to unclog even the most stubborn obstructions in the bathroom and kitchen.

If this doesn’t work, or only partially fixes the problem, you may have to do a repeat application straight after. They contain bacteria cultures and concentrated enzymes that effectively digest organic substances such as food and mould, and will continue working long-term to prevent further build-up. Then we timed how long it took for eight litres of cold tap water to pass through the U-bend and pipes. Soda Crystals is an incredibly affordable product with a lot of cleaning utility as you can use it to clean your washing machine, barbeque, pots and pans, as well as stain removal on clothes and fabrics. The Ecozone Enzymatic Drain Sticks are a revolutionary drain unblocking and maintenance product that can help prevent blockages from forming for up to a year in each package.Shoving a long, thin stick down the drain and wiggling it about may seem like the oldest unblocking trick in the book, but British company Ecozone has added the power of enzymes to produce a new innovation: enzymatic cleaning sticks. Though not as powerful as the Scotch Corporation cleaner, there’s nothing the Green Gobbler won’t clear given enough time. It’s not quite strong enough to eat through solid blockages (you’ll need a plunger, plumber or chemical unblocker for that), but it’s brilliant for cleaning gunky pipes before they can get fully clogged, and for keeping the kitchen smelling clean. It works fast and if you use it regularly, it ensures you never experience a blocked drain ever again. The strong chemical formula melts away all kinds of blockage, including solidified grease and oil, although you may need to leave it overnight to tackle large blockages.

Below you can see the symbols found on some products, what they mean and the safety advice for handling them. The only way to tell the difference is to read other people’s evaluations, especially the negative ones, so you can figure out what the unblocker can’t handle and whether you need an alternative. Drain sticks use powerful natural bacteria and enzymes to keep your drains running and smelling fresh.Slowly draining water in the bathroom is inconvenient, but it’s all due to the same culprits: soap, hair, and sludge. However both forms of drain unblockers are effective in clearing the causes of clogged drains, the enzyme-based unblocker is safer and will not harm your pipes.
