6 best tools for cleaning pipes
Operation "Clean sewage": how to break through the blockage?
Author: Julia Shevlyakova
While the pipes in the house regularly perform their function, we do not think about caring for them. But if there is a blockage, it must be removed very quickly and without wasting extra forces and finances! It is for this purpose that household chemicals are used for cleaning drains and sewers. We will understand what means to buy and what is the difference between them.
"Eliminators of blockages" can be of three types: liquid, gel-like and granular (powder). The last two are considered particularly effective, while the powders are more active, and the gels are less dangerous for human health and the condition of the pipes. The main active ingredient in all of them is caustic soda (sodium hydroxide, caustic soda) - a strong reagent that quickly dissolves organic dirt and soap deposits.

Mole I fill the whole bottle for the night, then it works well. By morning the pipes are fine. If the blockage is strong, you have to repeat the procedure, and then the Mole no longer seems so economical. |

What is the means to clean the sewers choose?
So, all the numerous powders and gels for dry cleaning of drains are able to eliminate the blockage, the difference consists only in the combination of substances and, most importantly, in their concentration, which affects the rate of dissolution of contaminants. For severe blockages, choose the means of "emergency" action, and for light cases and new pipes, less concentrated preventive formulations are preferable. But regardless of the means chosen, never neglect the safety rules when using chemicals! Wear rubber gloves and face masks, ventilate the room and keep children and animals away from the chemistry. Have a good choice!
