CLR CBR-6 Drain Build-up Remover, 1240ml

Like the active bacteria consuming the grease build up in the drainage.

This is not something that I would call an immediate drain opener. It is something that you would really use on drains that can get clogged up over time (such as bathroom sinks, tubs/showers, etc.) to keep them flowing/draining smoothly. If a drain is running slow you pour about a quarter of the bottle down the drain each day until it starts draining normally. So, it is not like one of the "foaming snake" kinds of things where you pour the entire bottle down the drain at one time and it unclogs it in 10-20 minutes. But, I have successfully used it in my bathroom sink to get it draining quickly again.

I read some of the other reviews and I don't think people understand what this stuff does. It is NOT a drain cleaner per se, no 15 minutes and all clear. It breaks down organic material -- hair, soap, toothpaste over a period of a few days. I poured it in at bedtime since it needs to sit untouched for about 8 hours. It took about 4 days, but it was all clear and my bathroom sink drains like a charm. So remember, it's not a 15 minute wonder like Drano or anything, it takes time. I use it periodically for a couple of days to keep the drain clear and put a mesh strainer over the drain so the hair doesn't clog it up in the first place!

As of this writing, a 24 fl. oz. container is about $23. It's a much smaller container than I imagined. The direction says to use 2 fl. oz. monthly for maintenance, but in reality, it probably won't last as long. If you have an immediate clogging problem, you have to use Drano or Liquid Plumr. The instructions here say to pour a small amount over 5 consecutive days. for clogs, and that's too slow. I would pass on this product. I will use it up for maintenance, but I'm not getting this again.

We had an almost city wide backup during a recent "almost flood" around here. As far as we could tell my lines blocked by something from sity lines, thought it was mine so did usual cleared all house lines basically anything from mine got stopped on whatever the block was and mine went from that Telltale gurgling in the tub when you flush the toilet to all but a dead stop. So much so that it blew off the cover on out flow pipe in basement. After many attempts at clearing it with every trick I know I did some research and ended up buying the CLR which was a good thing cuz we had gotten them almost clear and they blocked again. After fixing the outflow pipe we poured this straight into it says it'll go out 50 ft well my 50 foot auger couldn't quite reach the clog so it definitely does what it says it will. By the next morning my lines were running 100% clear and have been since. Not so much as a gurgle so this is one I will be buying again. Since we knew the clog was over the 50 Foot Mark even if it was barely I had search for something that would hopefully be able to reach it and CLR did the trick considering the multitude of previous attempts and the fact that it was they'll put in and then rinse for nose supposed to be in overnight it was if he still but by the next morning like I said 100% clear literally Save the Day and my sanity cuz I wasn't sure how much more of this I can take.
