It helped our drains a lot. Even if they are not clogged, follow the instructions carefully and it might help to plunge the drains even though they are clear. You may find that after you put the enzyme into the drain that the drain clogs because of the smelly gunk that is in there. I just used it in a bathroom and the room smells good now! Good luck...

I haven't had that issue. Maybe try vinegar to neutralize any smell and then your regular detergent.

Try lowering the pump; if the pump is too close to the drain, it will not pump. Hope this helps. Feel free to ask me further questions.

I don't know your reason for purchase but I got this to kill mold in an old mobile home we bought? it did remove some but as for the claim that it will linger and kill the source I don't think so.

We have had this unit for over a year now and not experienced any of the smells you mentioned. Have you tried removing the filter and giving it a good clean, also double check that you got all the packaging off it as it has a tendency to leave little pieces stuck in the nooks and crannies.

I has worked for me, if you scrub it in good with a broom or stiff brush, is pretty good to remove odor too.

My experience is that NokOut will remove just about any bad smell from anything. It might take more than one application to completely take out the odor, but I think you will see a substantial improvement. The NokOut folks can give you lots of free advice for specific areas and problems. Good luck to you!

This seals the drain so instead of just filling up the sink it will build pressure until the clog opens.I used it after using "Drain Care". It worked for me.

I have had no trouble with this. No odors or problems caused because of no drain hole.I have 2 units and I would replace with same unit should one quit.Hope this helps.

All I can say is it removed 10 years of smoke smell from a couple of sleeping bags stored at grandmas. I would try it if I were you. Stop the wash machine part way into the wash cycle and let it soak for 1/2 hour.

Not sure, maybe it's old? Mine did not and doesn't smell bad now. Good luck.

Yes it worked great in my plastic pipes & also metal pipes. I don't get any kick backs from the company but this is the best stuff I have found for unplugging drains. I have used it for over ten years. I used to get it from a plumber as I couldn't buy it myself, but now it is available online. I pour it in the drain run hot water until it dissolves, which is only a matter of seconds & then shut the door & leave. When I return in 15-20 minutes there is no noticeable smell. Sometimes it may take a second treatment but it has never failed me.

I think that's more of a issue of what cleaning liquid you use. If the odor is still there, so is the urine (you just can't see it - sorry). I've used this with the pet stain cleaner that came with it and I don't detect an odor anymore. I loaned the cleaner and the cleaning solution to my neighbor and she says the odor in her house is gone, too. YMMV

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.

I'm not sure if this will work if something has soaked into the wood. You may want to try a solution of diluted vinegar and water and maybe put an opened box of baking soda in there for a bit. I've also heard that plain charcoal will help absorb odors.

I just got mine out to check. I have a pretty good sense of smell and mine had no odor. Sometimes soaking it submersed in vinegar for a few days will clear the smell. Good luck!

I've never had a problem with the drain. When I first got the porch potty, I applied a good amount of E6000 industrial glue to the drain opening and the drain tube. I haven't had a leak! I also make sure to spray down and clean with pinesol every couple days to keep the smell to a minimum.
