If we wouldn’t want it for our family, we wouldn’t ask you to use it near yours. We don’t put these ingredients in our products:
A maximum strength drain clog remover that is safe for all pipes and is the best at removing hair, soap scum and other gunky clogs.
Removes or lessens stains, clogs or odours.
Sodium Hypochlorite is the basic ingredient in laundry bleach and mold and mildew stain removers. It is a bleach that helps to break down drain clogs.
Breaks down dirt and deposits.
For competitive reasons, the supplier of this cleaning agent has asked us to keep the details confidential, and we're legally bound to do so. But we can tell you that it's a cleaning agent (or blend of cleaning agents) that removes dirt and deposits by surrounding dirt particles to loosen them from the surface they're attached to, so they can be rinsed away. And, it has met our strict Greenlist™ standards for health and environmental effects.
Breaks down drain clogs.
Sodium Hydroxide is a builder that can also be found in detergents and degreasers. It makes a product formula clean better by affecting the molecules in the formula so they work together better. Sodium Hydroxide can also be a pH adjuster that alters the pH of a product to improve stability. Every formula has an optimum pH to make it work best. For example, a formula that’s more acidic works better for soap scum removal. Its opposite, a formula that’s more alkaline, might be more effective at removing grease or greasy soils. We use pH adjusters to make sure we achieve the best pH for a particular job. Also, the pH of a formula can affect how long it lasts within a container – for example limiting its tendency to rust in a can. In high concentrations (such as in drain cleaners), Sodium Hydroxide can also be used as a caustic that helps dissolve organic matter like drain clogs.
Enhances cleaning ability.
Sodium Silicate is a corrosion inhibitor that can also be found in laundry detergents, dishwashing detergents and hard surface cleaners. It helps keep metallic household surfaces such as faucets and drains free of corrosion.
