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

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 don't usually write a review, and in fact this is the first one I've ever written on amazon, but this product saved me from a lot of hassle. Recently, I moved into a new apartment after hearing some good things about the new renovations they were doing. However, after only a week of living there, I came across several things in my apartment that made my life more stressful than it needed to be. One of those things: a disgusting clog in my shower. I'm not sure what whoever it was who lived here before me did to that poor drain, but that was an abnormally disgusting clog. Everytime I finished taking a shower, when the ankle-deep pool of water would finally drain away, I would come back to find something gross and black staining the tub. I know for a fact it did not come from me. It looked like a bunch of dirt just caking parts of what should be my nice and pristine area for getting clean. Needless to say, it got disgusting enough to where I felt I needed to do something about it. I wasn't going to unclog it the old-fashioned way, of course. To start with, doing it by hand always makes me sick to my stomach. Also; I wasn't sure it was just going to be hair down there, not with all that muck leaking into my tub. I didn't want to find out what it was the person living there before me had in their drain. That's when I came across Green Gobbler on Amazon. I figured it didn't cost much and it was worth trying out after all the good reviews I saw. I even checked out the YouTube videos that showed in better depth just how well it worked with various types of clogs. I was impressed and convinced, so I bought it. Needless to say, after suffering with that disgusting muck in my tub and having to constantly clean it out every time I finished a shower, I was excited to try this out once it arrived. I followed the directions and poured the first half in, leaving it for half an hour. Then I rinsed it out with scalding hot water. I even went to the extra trouble of going to a sink and using the hot water from that to put in a pitcher that I could pour down the drain of the tub since the water in my shower would take a while to heat up. Much to my dismay, nothing changed. It only kept clogging and spouting gross stuff into my tub. That's when I went for the next suggestion: putting the second half in and leaving it there overnight. I was actually desperate enough to where I left it there for longer than just overnight. I kept it in for 15 hours. Practically two nights worth of sleep for me. Afterwards, I did the same thing. I grabbed a pitcher, filled it with steaming water from my sink, and dumped the pitcher of water right into the drain of my tub. Needless to say, given my five star review: it worked. I could tell right from the start as I drained the pitcher that the drain was having no trouble functioning, but just to be sure, I left the shower running for five minutes - which is how long it takes before the water is suddenly ankle-deep - and sure enough, not a single inch of water was left standing in the tub. Perhaps for those with bad reviews that said they left the solution in overnight the second time around with no change simply didn't keep it in as long as they should have? Regardless, I'm certainly not complaining. It took more than one try, but I would also like to think that clog wasn't a normal one. Thank you green gobbler! You made my life at this horrible apartment a little less miserable!

I have had a bad clog in my bathtub for about 3 months but wanted to avoid the cost of hiring a rooting service. I had originally purchased a hand cranked rooting contraption which didn't remove anything and seemed not to be able to make the turns in the pipe, which must have some very sharp bends. I tried over and over to "plunge" the drain with a toilet type plunger and only managed to wear myself out and make a mess. I saw this product pop up in an advertisement and decided to give it a try before giving in and hiring a rooter after all. The container has two separate "treatments", so if one isn't enough, you have another shot. I followed the instructions, and I am glad I did. They recommend pouring one treatment down the drain and allowing it sit for several hours or overnight. I allowed it to sit overnight in the drain pipe. Next day I boiled a large pot of water and poured it down the drain, as the instructions say. After a little while it seemed to have broken down some of the clog and it drained a bit faster that it had before, so that was a good sign. I decided that I would use the 2nd treatment. After pouring it in the drain and allowing to sit for several hours, I repeated the boiling water step, hoping that would finally do the trick. It did drain, but not very quickly. Getting impatient and not wanting to waste the money and effort, I grabbed my plunger and ran some hot water in the tub and started plunging like crazy. After several minutes of continual plunging gurgling noises and bubbles began to come out of the drain, and a couple more good plunges and the drain created a whirlpool and sucked all the water out of the tub, the drain was finally clear! After testing it a few times with hot water and seeing the drain completely empty the tub, I knew it had worked. So like I said, the Green Gobbler helped in removing the clog...EVENTUALLY, but not without a bit of physical effort, but that is fine! It did finally help me succeed and finally cleared my drain! Sure is nice to be able to use my shower without being up to my ankles in dirty shower water! I DO recommend this product, but do be prepared to help it do its job. If you don't have to, BONUS! I give it 4 out of 5 Stars because I still had to work at getting it unclogged. Not sure that's really fair, but maybe they will improve the formula so it won't require any physical effort to accomplish in the future.

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.)

Wow! Wow, wow, wow!!! This stuff is amazing! I have MCS so I can't be around any sort of chemicals or fumes or even fragrances. That really limits the products I can use. We have a shower with a chronically slow drain that is worse than most because my hair is long enough to sit on. You can imagine how much of a mess that causes. No matter how diligently I clean the drain, the water rises to calf level by the time I've finished showering. All that standing water also means it's hard to keep the mold at bay. In the past I've used Draino, Liquid Plumber, and any powerful, guaranteed, high rated product I could find at the hardware store, but soon after the drain was running slow again. Due to the fumes, I've had to wear a vapor mask to use them, and then stay out of the house for a day or two afterwards. When I stumbled across this one and it said it was non-toxic and without fumes, I had to try it. Honestly, I was skeptical. When it comes to burning through a drain clog, most of these "natural" products just don't work. Well, bust my buttons, this one does!!! Not only that - it works just as well or better than all those harsh chemically ones that poison the air. The first time I used it, we'd had a terribly slow drain for several months. It was at it's worst. The directions said after pouring this in, to let it sit for 15 minutes, and if the drain was still slow, to repeat the treatment and leave it overnight, then pour boiling water down the drain. Well, that sounds like too much work to me, plus how would I get a large amount of boiling water safely to the bathroom? So, instead, I just poured half the bottle down the drain (one side) and let it sit overnight the first time. I was very busy the next day, so it actually sat undisturbed for almost 24 hours. Then I filled a bucket with very hot water from the kitchen sink (so no cold would go first), and poured it down the drain. WOW!!! Oh my gosh, WOW!!! I couldn't believe how well this worked! The water ran through a little on the slow side at first but after I poured more water down there, it kept speeding up. I finally turned the hot water on in the shower and left it running for about 7 minutes. When I came back to check on it, the water was draining out as fast and free as a brand new drain. Literally no pooling up at all. Now here comes the really amazing part. We got a surprise bonus present. Our chronically slow running bathroom sink now drains, too! I didn't even pour this down there, it just seemed to clear as a side effect of the shower clearing. That's NEVER happened before. Not with any other product. Sure, leaving it sit for so long was certainly a factor, but I've let some of the chemical ones sit overnight, too, but none of them ever did this. This is hands down the best drain de-clogger I've ever used - PLUS - it really truly is fume free. I expected to react badly to it even if it claimed not to have harsh chemicals because I'm so sensitive and react even to non-harsh chemicals. I expected at least a headache, but I had no reaction to this at all. I didn't wear a mask, I didn't leave the house. Even working right next to it, there were no detectable fumes and no smell at all. I love this stuff! I'm telling all my friends about it. Why would anyone ever use toxic stinky drain cleaners again? This one really works!!! Yay!!! :D UPDATE 8-19-19: Eight months later and our drain is still clear and running fast. No standing water, no pools. I've never had to repeat this treatment. The sink still drains well, too. In all my years, I've never seen a drain cleaner be this effective. Wow! (no affiliation - I paid full price - I'm just that impressed).

Well, I did it. I clogged my toilet. The clog was down the pipe (nothing in the bowl) and I tried plunging the heck out of it multiple times, to no avail. I poked around online for suggestions, where I saw a Reddit post mention Green Gobbler as a better alternative to Draino. I followed the directions on the bottle: for a toilet, slowly empty entire contents into bowl, and wait. They say at least two hours, but overnight is ideal. I think I gave it a good 24 hours. I then tried a flush, but there was no change. I gave it one plunge, and BOOM it was fixed! The bowl drained and the next flush was normal. I never even heard of this product before, but I won't hesitate to recommend it now.

Like so many drain cleaners I find it hard to tell if it worked unless I start with a totally backed up sink or shower and wind up with a free flowing one. I rarely if ever have the total blocked situation si I am usually dealing with a slow draining sink or shower. In this case, drain number one was a utility sink adjacent to the washing machine that backs up with water when the washing machine is on spin cycle draining its water. After the sink fills up 3-4 inches and the washer is done spinning, the sink completely empties like there is no problem. So I am not sure exactly what the reason for the backup is or if I am even correctly treating it looking for a blockage in or near the trap, or whatever area the drain cleaner is effective on. My second problem a toilet that gets plugged up way too easily and usually from too much toilet paper which is flushed before it has had time to absorb the water. I have the same question here after treating it, apparently unsuccessfully, when the same the same one chamber application it didn't seem to help. However, I'm thinking something is stuck in the toilet itself somewhere as it backs up immediately after flushing and always needs plugging to open it up. It's never just started flowing free after 5 or 10 minutes as is often the case in a paper jam. The last problem is the one I expected to see results. It is a Roman shower (no door or curtain, not that it matters) and my wife with long, thick, dark Italian hair I believe is guilty of whatever happens in here. I used to have to get a clothes hanger down the drain to free it of giant hairballs. Her hair isn't that long anymore so no hairballs recently but it still regularly starts slowing down and then almost stopping. It will always drain when it's plugged but verrrrrry slowly. I used the same one chamber application and let it sit for two hours with the other's, but when I was done, it didn't seem to make a difference. So before I did the second overnight application, I thought I'd give it a quick plunge. Well, it wasn't quick, and there was no large gushing sound of water when it finally opened but it did get noticeably better and now drains like a champ. So I'm thinking about the very least, or best, the Gobbler got rid of a lot of the blockage and started the process of opening up the drain and the plunger finished the job. As I said before; In all three applications, I'm not sure what happened in each of the drains. I am pretty sure it did something in the shower, and I will continue to use it (hopefully in more standard situations where I can see the results) even if it's not quite as effective as Drano because of how it is much less harmful to the drains and environment. I'm all for that as long as whatever I use that works. Unfortunately, my environmental sensitivity ends with a backup that affects my property value, so if I was told I had to use battery acid to open up a badly plugged drain and it that it would poison a catfish somewhere downstream, I'm sure the catfish would understand that he gave his life for a good cause...Me!

Nothing that Drano or Mr Plummer wouldn't do. Didn't have the chemical smell not sure what makes this special. Idk if it worked.

We have a toilet that occasionally has some draining problems and we are not sure why. Anyway we used this product as the instruction state and the toilet drained as expected after each use. We selected this product as it does not use harsh chemicals and is safe for septic use. This product is highly recommended if you have a drain or toilet that has some drainage issues.

This product worked amazingly for my needs! I purchased this item in 2020 for a slow draining bathroom sink and shower in an older home (circa 1960s). I only used ½ the recommended amount and let sit over night before flushing with very hot water. My drains functioned great for more than 1 year before I needed to reapply! Sadly, I am out of my supply and did not think to repurchase a few bottles immediately after. Now the price has been raised from €18 to €115, which is clearly unreasonable. If you can find at a reasonable price, I strongly recommend this product. In the meantime I have contacted the manufacturer directly to see if they can ship to Germany for a reasonable price, as I would prefer not to use items in the drain that are not eco friendly.

I just went through it on amazon. It was attractive. It was very effective and clean. No harmful odor or fumes. It worked pefectly.

Mi problema era obstrucción por objeto, así que cambio mi opinión, me supongo que es bueno pero no pude comprobarlo por lo mismo mencionado, se uso en el WC pero no funcionó por la obstrucción del objeto.

Ottimo prodotto. Cercavo qualcoso che facesse defluire l'acqua della doccia che era diventato un poco lento. Versata l'intera parte di una delle due camere, lasciato agire qualche ora e poi versato acqua calda... Perfetto, scarico tornato a defluire rapidamente, come nuovo. Se dovessi averne bisogno ancora, lo riprenderei di sicuro.
