Green Gobbler Drain Clog Dissolver, Drain Opener-Cleaner ,Toilet Clog Remover, 31 oz

It's the best for slow drains due to soap build up - non-toxic, easy to use, EFFECTIVE. Upon overcoming my skepticism, I bought a two dose bottle for less than $10, with little expectation of reward. I poured 1/2 the bottle slowly and indirectly into the drain at 9 pm (in strict accordance with the directions) and walked away. The next day at 8 a.m. or so, without ever noticing any odors, I turned on the tap, which ran cold until the hot water came up, and let the water run for a couple of minutes. It started out seeming a little bit better but at the end of that period it was draining as if it were a newly installed drain pipe. And, I never had to worry about creating deadly gas and liquid if the drain still needed to be snaked. I highly recommend.

This worked GREAT on our bathroom sink, which has drained slowly for years. I didn't want to use regular drain cleaners as I heard they could damage the pipes, so every few months I would pour baking soda and vinegar in the sink, and it would drain better for a while. Finally that trick stopped working, so I searched YouTube for how to manually clean a sink drain. It seemed straightforward enough, since I was pretty sure our drain issue was a standard p-trap clog, but as you can imagine it never seemed like a great time to take the sink apart. So back to the internet I went, looking for alternative drain cleaners. I ended up buying two enzyme cleaners, Green Gobbler and SoFresh. SoFresh arrived first, so I used it as directed, three treatments out of the recommended five, before the Green Gobbler arrived. SoFresh definitely improved the situation and the sink was draining faster already. But I'd read great things about the Green Gobbler, so I poured half the bottle in the sink and waited 24 hours (it was only one treatment, so it seemed like nothing compared to the other cleaner). The instructions said to run hot water for five minutes afterwards, and I thought, well I won't be able to do that because the sink will fill up. And indeed, although the sink showed further improvement and drained even faster than before, it still filled up. So I ran hot water until it filled, let it drain, and ran hot water again. After three minutes of this, there was a glugging sound and the water suddenly rushed down the drain! The sink drains normally now, with water running down the drain as fast as it comes out of the tap, for the first time since we moved in! Now, to be fair, we didn't have a complete clog, just a slow drain. But it was an increasingly annoying slow drain, and I'm sure the sink would eventually have stopped draining at all. For the low cost of $20, a day without using the sink, and a few minutes of running water, this process could not have been easier or cheaper. I'm recommending Green Gobbler to everyone. (Also, since Amazon is asking me how it smells and how thick it is: it smells very neutral, like... nothing. The sink also smells neutral, as a sink should. The Green Gobbler is thicker than the SoFresh I tried, but the bottle says it's the density of the liquid that matters, not the thickness, because it sinks to the bottom of standing water to work at the source of the problem. So I wasn't judging it based on viscosity, just effectiveness. It was VERY effective.)

Works well on clogged drains.

I highly recommend this! I had a stubborn clog that nothing else would touch and this cleared it within an hour after following the directions. The liquid is easy to pour and the instructions are well... just pour it in so you do not have to guess how much to use. It felt powerful without being harsh on the pipes and I liked that it is labeled safe for both pipes and septic systems. No stinky smell! The product did not leave that chemical odor some openers do. After treatment the drain smelled neutral and the water flowed freely again. The two pack is convenient because you can treat a second slow drain later or keep a spare for emergencies. Overall it worked when other products would not and gave me peace of mind that I was not damaging the plumbing. Tips: run hot water after the recommended wait time to flush any residue, and use gloves when handling the liquid. If you have a really old or fragile plumbing system consider testing on a less visible drain first. For routine maintenance this is a solid option to keep on hand.

I waited a few days to write this review after I used it, because I honestly couldn't believe the product worked as good as it did. But it did. I had a super slow draining bathroom sink from hair/gunk and the fact we don't get the coldest water. It was so slow that when I would use it and the water would rise up, it would take hours to slowly drain back, and it would leave a film of gross all down the side. We have a septic system so I first tried other solutions. I tried hot water, baking soda and hydrogen peroxide, and vinegar. They would work a tad but not really and definitely not long term. This Green Gobbler has made my sink run clear for 4 days now so I am convinced it works on the long term. And it also took away a discolored ring around the metal drain too so its all nice and bright white. As for the procedures I used, I did pour a little bit of very hot water down the drain and let it go down before I poured half the bottle in. it took a couple hours for it to go down as it is a little thick and like I said the drain was clogged and slow anyway. The Green Gobbler doesn't really smell, so that was good. Then I waited about 24 hours and I poured about 1/2 Liter of hot water again (really hot from a kettle) and it was cleared right away with no backup at all. It was super easy to use. It is a great value for the money and I am sold!

We had a very slow draining kitchen sink, and we knew the clog was over 50 feet away (found out from previous plumber a little over 2 years ago). We've tried everything in the past (from pouring all sort of products in, to using a 25 feet snake with drill, myself) but nothing worked. On Wed, Oct 16, 2019, we called two plumber’s company and scheduled an appointment with them at the earliest availability (between me and them) to fix this problem. The earliest time was the following Wed, with the same plumber company that came fixed it the last time. Right after calling the plumber, on that same Wed, my wife saw this product here on Amazon, and figured we'll give it a try. We ordered two bottles right away (and good thing I ordered two, as you’ll find out why once you read on) and it came in the very next day (Thursday). That Thu night, I poured one entire bottle (both chambers – I purposely didn’t follow the “sink instructions” of poring one chamber, because I believed it might not have been strong enough, since I knew the clog to be over 50 feet away) of this "DISSOLVE Liquid Hair & Grease Clog Remover", aka. “Green Gobbler”, and let it sat overnight. I than pour two pots (about one and a half gallons) of boiled hot water (really hot… thought about adding salt to make it even hotter, but I did not as I wasn’t sure how salt would interact with this Green Gobbler) into the sink the following morning, and saw the water reaching the top of the sink, and was really discouraged. I thought Green Gobbler did not work at all. On Friday night, we wanted to write a message asking what we should do next, but because it was past 6PM, we knew the company had already been closed, and for the entire weekend as well. So that night, before heading to bed, I poured the entire second bottle (again, both chambers) into the drain, and let it sat overnight again. Saturday morning, I asked my wife to start boiling two pots of waters again, so I can pour it down the drain. But when I saw that the drain was totally clogged (none of the water had moved that night), I decided not to pour the boiled water in as I knew there was no way the hot water would reach that clog, and would only made matters worse. We were about to write to the company asking for a refund that night, but I didn’t get the chance to write it. We weren’t able to use the kitchen sink that entire day, but on Sunday morning the water suddenly started to drain away, and fairly fast too. It was still slow draining, but flowed much better than when we started. That Sunday evening, I wrote a message to the company (EcoClean Solutions) asking them for their expertise on what we should do next. After explaining the entire situation to them, I asked if we should buy two more bottle and cancel our plumber’s appointment, to give the sink a couple more treatments to see if it improves; or if we should just wait for the plumber to come this Wednesday to fix the problem. They replied to my message the very following day (Monday). I really expected them to be prideful, and very proud of their own product. I thought for sure that they would tell us to go ahead and buy two more bottles; but to my surprise, they were really humble and apologetic about it. They thanked me for trying their product, and was really appreciative with the details I provided them in my message. They then told me that their product, due to it being an eco-friendly drain cleaner, seems to work on about 85% of clogs, and suggested that I should keep my plumber’s appointment. Lastly, without me even asking for it, they went ahead and refunded us the order in full. They also gave me their number in case I need to reach out to them for any other questions. In their message, they also included the following, which I’ll copy and paste. “We're a small family owned business trying to make it in a corporate world and your comments mean the world to us, but they can also be quite damaging. Although the product may not have worked its best for you in this instance, I hope that our service and hassle free refund policies can hold some weight and in the end make a happy customer who may be willing to give us and our products another try for your next clog.” So without much thinking, I went ahead and bought 3 more bottles on Oct 22, and knowing that it wouldn’t arrive until Oct 24, I went and canceled the plumber’s appointment on the 25th. I knew that if this doesn’t work, I would not ask them for any refund again, but thought it was worth the risk. By the time it arrived, the kitchen sink’s drainage had improved even more. Due to that improvement, I went ahead and poured 1 chamber into the sink but forgot to pour any hot water in the following morning. Regardless, our sink seems to be clog free up to this day (Nov 1, 2019). Other Thoughts: I was just reading all of the negative reviews, and it seems they all had one thing in common, time, or lack of it. I don’t have the instructions with me right now, but I believe it stated that it is best to leave it in overnight before flushing with hot water. I might have gotten lucky, as I had this stuff in the drain for over 36 hours, before it started to break through those fats, oils, and grease (FOG) build-up near the end of the pipes (before reaching the main line outside our house) over 50 feet away. The only reason it was in there for that time period was because I had no other chose, since no plumbers were available, and I knew the hot water would not reach. Just to let you know, we’ve never deliberately poured oil, or threw anything greasy (like meat, fat, etc.) into the garbage disposal/drains before. We actually don’t use the garbage disposal much at all, and have a strainer right above the drains, which we empty often (1 to 3 times a day depending on usage). As the plumber pointed out, FOG build-up will happen over time, since we do our dishes just about every night. It took about 8 years for the FOG to build up the first time around (the house was bought new, and I saw them build it), than another 2 years to build up the second time. Two years ago, it took the plumber over an hour to snake it out, and even the plumber was surprised as to how deep the clog was located and it cost us a little over $300.00 plus tips back then in my area. I don’t know how much it would have cost now, but just the thought of spending another $300+ got me worried. But this Green Gobbler did the job, and I am a really happy customer.

I feel I really need to leave a review. This was recommended to me by a friend. Even though the reviews are overwhelmingly positive on here, and I so so so hoped that this would work for us, too. IT DID NOT AND IT MADE THINGS WORSE. I followed instructions, so the failure was not a result of that. Instead of a slow draining bathroom sink and bathtub, we got a COMPLETELY CLOGGED bathroom sink and bathtub. Two nights ago I was able to declog the sink. I scooped water out from the sink, filled hot water in the sink, plunged, scooped out water again, filled with hot water, plunged, repeat and repeat and repeat - I don't know how many times but finally got it to flow. Our sink now flows nicely (okay, maybe the Green Gobbler did help clean the drain pipe a little? But it should NOT have COMPLETELY CLOGGED the drain in the first place, that just does not make any sense). So now I'm at it with the bathtub, which, again, is completely clogged after using the Green Gobbler. I cannot understand why so many reviews had such fantastic/miraculous results with this, but ours is completely the opposite..... This is an updated review. I upped the one start to three. Okay, so this is what I think.... If you have a slow slow draining sink. Do NOT leave Green Gobbler in your drain pipes for too long. Just flush after 15 mins. I think the longer it's left in, it will be at work too long and actually clog up the pipes completely (for some). I think it's "safer" to just repeat the treatment a few times. I plunged both my bathroom sink and bathtub like there's no tomorrow (I'm not exaggerating, I should have videoed it), and they are draining now. The tub is not 100% but it is better than before. So, if you used the Green Gobbler, and it actually completely clogged up your drain, this is what I did to get the sink and tub flowing again (disclaimer, I'm only sharing what I did in the hope to help, if you get burned by boiling water or Green Gobbler gets splashed on you or something, it is not my fault, do this at your own risk with proper protective gear, gloves, glasses/goggles, etc etc) - First, scoop out the water that's just standing in the sink/tub. Do nothing for a day for like 24 hours (really, I just left it like that, with the Green Gobbler supposedly in the drain pipe). Then the next day, pour in boiling hot water. Plunge (super careful so you don't get burned. For me, when I plunged, I could tell the water being sucked up had the Green Gobbler, because it was all bubbly like suds, so I know GG was in the pipe). Scoop nasty water out. Pour boiling water down again, plunge, scoop. Repeat and repeat and repeat. Take breaks in between of course. *When I plunged, I also cleaned out the gross stuff so they don't go back down the drain. I know one can just say uh this is stupid, you are just plunging like anyone. But I just wanted to share my experience in case if someone really want to give it a shot instead of calling a plumber right away. I honestly think the key is boiling water and letting the GG just sit in the pipe for a looooooong time. And I changed my rating because I do notice both drains drain better now, I do believe that GG did clean the pipes a bit despite "causing" the initial complete clog (for the sink I know the clog was further down the pipe, because I had cleaned the trap and the area that I could reach with a manual snake).... Anyway, that's my two cents! Hope you will not have to go plunge crazy like me, but at least give it a shot if you are not afraid to get a bit dirty and flex some muscles!

This is a great product. Ever since we bought and have used this product for over 2 years we have not needed to call the roto rooter guy to clean out our shower drain. It gets rid of hair, soap scum and does it naturally so no heavy caustic fluids going down the drain.
