Bio-Clean Drain Septic 2# Can Cleans Drains- Septic Tanks - Grease Traps All Natural and 100% Guaranteed No Caustic Chemicals! Removes fats Oil and Grease, Completely Cleans Your System.

REVISION (raising to 5 stars). When I reviewed this product, I did not know that a company that installed fiber optic cable in my neighborhood bored into my sewer main line, which, over time caused mud to backflow into my pipes and eventually caused all drains in my home to backup completely. I had coincidentally just used Bio-Clean in several drains, so thought that the Bio-Clean was the cause, but it was not. Thankfully, the city put pressure on that company to fix the problem right away, which they did. After the main line was repaired, I continued to use this product without any issues. The fact that not all of the product dissolves turned out not to be a problem. The product definitely works well (see the last 2 paragraphs of my review) and is far LESS expensive than drain gel. Note that enzymatic cleaners work at the boundary of where water meets organic material. No enzymatic cleaner will quickly eat through an entire stick of butter -- they work on the surface area that is exposed. Original Review: A good portion of the product does not completely dissolve, no matter how thoroughly you mix or stir it, and it will make drains backup that had no clog. I followed the directions and treated a bathroom sink and shower drain over 2 days, flushing with gallons of hot water in the mornings. On day 3, water going down the bathroom sink caused water to backup into a kitchen sink. NONE of these drains were previously clogged or even slow. On day 3, when someone was showering (after the drain had been thoroughly flushed with gallons of hot water), water backed up into a garbage disposal. I turned the disposal on to create turbulence, and this caused water to backup into the shower, which is 25 feet away. Some of the product came back up the drain onto the shower floor; it looks like cornmeal bisque. I believe all of the product that did not dissolve will eventually clear, but treating these drains at the same time on the same days for 5 days in a row would likely create a much bigger problem. Just don't go crazy treating many drains over consecutive days, and the day after each treatment, make sure you flush with lots of water. All of that said -- I ran a pipe brush on a stiff handle down a bathroom sink (the stiff handle prevents it from going through the P-trap). I slowly remove the brush, and massive, thick, ink-black gunk splattered all over the sink. I had previously treated the pipe with drain gel but never brushed it. After this, I decided to treat the pipe with this product. The next day, after flushing it with lots of hot water (which I did after the gel treatments too), I ran the brush down the pipe, expecting that at least some of the gunk would still be there and come back up when I removed the brush. There was ZERO gunk. The brush came out of the pipe just as clean as it was when it went into the pipe. This was after just one treatment (however, again, I had previously treated it with a high quality enzymatic drain gel multiple times). So, the product does work. There should be some warning on the label about the fact that much of it does NOT dissolve and the possibility that it will create temporary backups / clogs.

So I bought a house, my first. It is a lovely little place. I waived the inspection to make my bid competitive. When I moved in, I discovered, among other problems (basement windows leaking - I am so annoyed) all my plumbing was clogged. All of it. Three sinks, the bathtub, and the toilet. They all barely let water through. Grrrrrrrr. People can really be jerks. That is s something to disclose. Grrrrrrrrr. So I tried all sorts of things. Gross commercial decloggers like Draino, bleach (sorry planet - I was desperate), hydrogen peroxide - and then a couple of other enzyme cleaners, once I found out about it. I tried a few different products you can buy at a place like Home Depot. Nothing. And they were expensive! They only had one or two applications in a bottle. Then I saw this product and it seemed different... and I got it. It has been a couple of weeks, and - all is well! It took a minute, the tub and kitchen sinks were disgustingly clogged. I could tell it was working from the gurgling sounds, and then slowly they began to unclog. It wasn't that long, maybe four nights of it working while I slept. All drains had a moment where I could tell the biggest pile of gunk (likely in the P trap, which I did not want to deal with) just unclogged and went down the drain. Victory! And now they will keep being unclogged because all drains and pipes have a little colony of enzymes doing their thing. Perfect. I have used almost the whole container. Totally worth it. A pittance compared to calling in a plumber. I am going to get another container for monthly maintenance. I might still use it once a week for a while, I'm just paranoid... and the kitchen sinks still seem like they gurgle, a little, even though water passes through fine. The previous owners must have figured they would have to get an expensive professional plumbing flush and - yuck! - lived with gross water burping back up the drains. I could not live with that. Buy it my friends. It's science (hope that doesn't scare some people off - [cough] global warming is real [cough]) - and the stuff works! Stick with it a few days, if you have ridiculously clogged drains like I did.

Works well when you have plastic pipes under your sink and you worry about caustic chemicals ruining. The only downside is it takes time. This is not an instant drain unclogger. Its better for slow running drains. Over a week, you pour a mixture down your drain every day, at a time it won't be used. I poured it in my bathroom sink when I went to bed for the night. After a week, the sink ran much better and has maintained. When using more natural methods, you need patience. We also use it sometimes in the kitchen sink (disposer side) to keep drain grease to a minimum. Bio Clean was recommended by my plumber as maintenance for the kitchen sink he unclogged. So not a good product if you need a quick answer, but better overall for you and your pipes.

This item definitely works. We immediately noticed the different after first night of treatment. We used it on six drains and two toilets. The can might feel big but it might not last long if you have multiple properties to treat. Half can of it was gone after the initial five days treatment. We only did three days for the two toilet. It is very easy to use - you just need to mix with warm water and mix it well before pouring into the drains. The odor was not bad imo. The bacteria and enzyme would dissolve any organic waste in the sewer pipes. Unlike harsh chemical, you don't need to worry this product would damage the PVC or cast iron pipes.

this is the best answer for a slow drain. regardless of the type of plumbing, you have. It does not have a complex chemical profile. It is comprised of natural enzymes that do not harm the pipes. I had a slow drain in my shower and used this the same day I got it. let it work overnight. and literally the next morning I could hear the water quickly flowing through the drain. Now I use this monthly as maintenance to keep the drains clear. There are instructions for shower drains, toilets floor, drains. there is no smell after using. I am sure to buy this on repeat.

Frequency and Longevity I use this once or twice a year, usually for two days in a row. I’ve used it for about ten years and probably should use it more often. Pros This noticeably improves water flow, especially when used for a couple of consecutive days. That’s when I see the biggest difference. Clog Removal – The clearing isn’t instant, but it’s gradual and definitely noticeable. It works well on organic buildup. Ease of Use – Very simple. Warm water, a few scoops with the included scooper, and you’re set. I let it sit overnight or during the day when no one is using the drains, which the directions also recommend. Drain Speed – My drain speed improved from roughly 70% to about 90% after treatment. Smell – Much better than harsh chemical products. It smells a bit like old‑school protein powder, so nothing unpleasant. Cons None Would I buy again? Yes. I’ve purchased this product for the past ten years and will continue to do so.

I've used this product regularly for ~5 years since moving into a home with a septic tank. It's hard to say if it works because I don't really have a control septic tank without this product to test it against. However, our tank was ready to be pumped out after 3 years of use with two full-time residents. My hesitation in recommending or repurchasing this product is that the preparation and instructions are overly fussy and detailed compared with other similar products. The powder has to be mixed into water, shaken to dissolve, and then flushed at a time when little water will run through the plumbing for about 8 hours. Sometimes it's tough to find the right time to be able to use it. Plus, the powder smells....yucky, and when you shake up the mixture, it generates a little bit of pressure and when you open the lid, be ready for a little release. Contrast all that with the pods my septic tank cleaner sold me. The instructions were simply "drop the pod into a toilet, flush, and repeat monthly." That's it. I think I'm going with those in the future.

Was skeptical about buying this product but it did an EXCELLENT job cleaning years of built up gunk in the shower drain pipe

I bought this after having a slow drain that would occasional become completely blocked. Normally, I would try and snake the drain (up to 25m) but would not have full success, requiring a plumber to do a professional job. After trying other chemical type products (e.g. Draino), I decided to try Bio-Clean. It didn't clear everything immediately, but I tried it several nights over a week on a slow drain that would become blocked if the sink ran too long. After a few uses, the slow drain completely disappeared. We now have zero problems. I run it once every few months just in case. Lots of uses in the tub. Highly recommend Bio=Clean.

Awesome product for cleaning/clearing out drains. Will definitely buy again

Stuff works great follow instructions little pricey though

It took a few weeks, but my drain that was flowing very slowly is finally flowing freely. I used about half of the container to get there.

Had a blockage that needed a plumber. He highly recommended regular use of this product to prevent grease, hair and other biological growths in the pipes. I have no idea but if he recommended it and didn't try to sell me from his truck I gotta say it must work and so far so good, plus he claimed he uses it at home.
