When I snaked the ub drain it brought back hair clogs that looked like steel wool, with this remove/destroy hair clogs? what is the shelf life

Ishmael,Here's what I can tell you based on experience, and what it says on the product label.I do not see an expiration date on the label, so I would assume it has an indefinite shelve life.The drain has to be partially open to work. This product is really for drain maintenance, not clog clearing. So if your drain is completely clogged you need a product that will open it.This product works very well for keeping drains open by keeping the walls of the pipe clean. I have a kitchen drain that is about 25 feet long, with one 90 degree elbow. I use to have a problem with the drain clogging at the elbow, but after using this product the problem disappeared. Hope this helps.Have a good day.

I don't think it will dissolve hair, but it will dissolve the grease and other residue that sticks to hair, making it easier for the hair to slide down the pipe and out of your home's plumbing. I have very long hair, and the tub used to get stopped up all the time because of my hair. Since using this, I don't have that problem any more. The shelf life is pretty long, at least three or four years if you keep it in a dry place. I use it every several weeks in the toilets and sinks, and it does a great job of keeping them clear. Our plumbing was in terrible shape when we moved in...drains backed up all the time. One or two treatments with this and the drains were running clear. I love that it's non-caustic, eco-safe and IT WORKS!! So many 'green' products just don't work well, but I won't be without this stuff.

It will definitely take out hair clogs. I have found this to be 100 times more effective than any chemical drain cleaner. You may need to do it a few times to get everything, and do maintenance uses, but it worked in my kitchen the first time! I don't know the shelf life, actually, but I had some years ago and it didn't lose its effectiveness ever, that I can recall. The enzymes are activated by the warm water; I think they're just in a state of stasis or something until then.

I agree with the two responses below. Drain Care will not open a clog drain. But it will dissolve grease & other organic material. It will over a very long time dissolve hair. But if the hair has nothing to catch on it should hopefully move thru your pipes. Our drian pipes were very slow draining when we brought the house we live in now, but after using Drain Care, they have been working great. I do treat my drains about twice a year. And Drain Care has a shelf life of about 2 to 4 years. If you get this product just make sure that you follow the directions, & you won't be sorry on how well it works.

We have not had problems with our drains clogging from cleaning the brush. Usually, we pull the excess fur off the brush by hand and then wash out the brush.

There is a drain pipe very low to the ground.its a pain to drain so cut a groove in a large Tupperware. It lasts 12 hours.

I think this would be your best bet. You must presoak the mop head adequately before use. The first time I used the replacement I soaked the head for an hour. Hubby said we should make sure it was wet clear to the core. Since then I have never had to resoak since it is in constant use. I use castlie soap and clorox in my water. There is constantly a bucket of clean water sitting around. I do not leave the mop in the water. I clean after use and wring out well. Then I just leave it sitting next to the bucket. With 2 shelter rescues and a 5 month-old puppy mill rescue, it is in constant use. Urine on the floor is the norm around here. Nothing has affected the mop head. There are no bits and pieces of foam coming off of the head even after the daily abuse. Constantly using the clorox has not harmed it. You will feel the head soften a bit over time which has allowed me to use it on a tiled floor and still get the grout clean. I hate mopping and this is the first one that I actually like using. It has been in constant use since June and the head is still in great shape. Also, unlike other mops, the head is secured to the handle with large screws. No breaking of plastic nuts or poles causing replacement before the head is actually totally worn out. I believe that this is the perfect mop for your facility. It will definitely be getting the kind of abuse that I give it everyday.

No, it doesn't go bad. It's mostly silver, which isn't perishable. However it is possible that after a number of years the components within separate from each other and aren't mixed properly anymore. You might be able to shake it to remix the components or they could mix back together when you squeeze it out of the tube. However this is just conjecture on my part, I don't know if the ingredients separate over time or not. I'd go ahead and use it anyways. If your PC overheats, it's easy enough to just clean it off and apply new coolant.

Could be a couple things. Too much bleach was used or it was bleached for to long. The beads were or are damaged from recharging process. I only soak in the bleach solution maybe 8 hours tops (bleach doesn't take long to kill off bad organics), and soak in a prime solution for 24 hours.

Possible nozell jet cloged by HARD WATER build uo. Clean out with cleaning tool supplied. Useviniger soal or CLR cleaner.

Our drain was slow moving. Plumber wanted $1200 to snake it. We used this stuff instead (1 bottle/year) and haven't had any issues for the past 1.5 years.

Yes it can be reused - that's what I do. I pull it out of the drain, pull off the gobs of hair and replace it. If that's too gross for you wear gloves or throw it away.

Not sure about that. I did have a plumber tell me he put a few of these containers in a septic tank and it cleared out the system (pretty impressive). Drain Flies? I would "Google" that (how to get rid of drain flies). Hope this helps.

The Hair Snare has ridges for stacking purposes. The ridges would prevent a proper seal allow water and hair to go down the drain.

Hi Roger - could be several reasons.. chlorine level, the suction strength, and, the type of stuff it's picking up, etc. Seems to me that little twigs and even tiny pebbles will shorten the life, as they slowly rub against and wear down the rubber. It is unusual, though for just a 90 day life. How do you clear it out when stuff gets stuck in there, assuming this happens once in a while?

Hey Doc - BKF will effectively remove that iridescent patina that is sometimes left by gas heat or evaporated water. I just add a tiny bit of water and BKF, and scrub the pot/pan down with a nylon brush. It comes out almost immediately. Make sure you scrub it down with some soapy water to get rid of the BKF, as you don't want your future meal to have BKF residue! After this, wipe it all down with a cheesecloth or paper towel. Your stainless cookware will look brand spanking new. By the way - don't let cooking residue sit in the cookware for too long after cooking to prevent it from sticking. If you're diligent about cleaning right away - it'll make your life super easy. If you get a bit of food stuck to the pan - I leave the pan soaking with warm water, dish soap, and a bit of BKF. Come back in 30-45 mins - and it's all gone with a light scrub. For particularly resilient stuck-on residues, repeat this multiple times - it will eventually work. Stainless is just worlds better than nonstick. But you have to learn to work with it. Learn it well - and the cookware will reward you with amazing food. Hope this helps!

The other responses are correct (you can leave the stopper in) however after using it, I wasn't completely satisfied with the results. So I removed the stopper and while that didn't help clear the drain with the Zip-It, the stopper itself had plenty of gunk around it that was part of the problem. Zip-It doesn't clean that so I cleaned it with a brush. The combo was perfect - love the Zip-It!

it is normal. it's just an anti corrosive coating. just wipe out what you can, you don't want it to clog up the shower heads.

I agree with MotherKat. It heps keep your drain clean and removes built up residue. I use it at once every 6 weeks unless the dishwasher gets heavy use like over the Xmas Holidays. Good, reliable product. M

I have used the same mix for about ten or so time and it still works. How ever when i drain my tub i filter it with a clean rag so as not to get any grease in my bucket where i keep the mix.
