Thrift T-100 Alkaline Based 1-Pound Granular Drain Cleaner,Red

If you’ve been dealing with sluggish drains, standing water in your shower, or grease-clogged kitchen pipes, stop wasting your money on the grocery store brands and just get this. Here is why I am obsessed: Insanely Fast: It says "Works in 60 Seconds" on the bottle, and for once, a label isn't exaggerating. You pour it in, add the hot water, and you can practically hear the clog surrendering. The Power of Heat: Because it’s activated by hot water, it creates a reaction that melts away hair and grease instantly. It’s like a "reset button" for your plumbing. Safe for My Pipes: I love that it’s non-acidic, making it safe for my septic system and pipes while still being more powerful than the harsh stuff. Efficient: Unlike other cleaners that leave a chemical stench for hours, Thrift gets the job done cleanly and quickly. This has got to be the industry's best-kept secret. I’ll never use anything else. If you want your drains to flow like the day they were installed, buy Thrift. You won't regret it!

So I have used this product many times in the past at my house and friends houses also. It works like a charm unclogging drains. The product comes it decent size chunks but I break them down more just crushing them into smaller chucks to slide down the drain with less mountain build up. Just use an extra cup and bottom of a screwdriver lol. I love hearing it dissolve the gunk clogging the drain. Basic prep dry or wet. Run your bath or sink water warm to lube up the pipes. Then go start up some pots of water on the stove (boiling hot) While the pots are boiling add the thrift to the affected drains. By the time you're satisfied with whatever amount you use. The water should be boiling . Make sure to keep a good distance away from your fave. If you have bathroom windows open them. Cover your nose just to be safe. And close your eyes just to be safe. Listen to that glorious crackle and bubbling noise of the thrift eating away all the gunk Immediately run water from the tun or the sink to ensure a smooth flow

I never write reviews, but this product definitely deserves one. I have a shower drain that gets backed up easily. No way to remove the cover to clear the catch. I’ve spent hundreds of dollars on every drain cleaner possible over the past few years. They work for a shower or two, then it backs up again with a vengeance. I used this product once. The granules were a little too large for the drain holes in my shower, but (as suggested by another user review) just used rubber gloves to break them up and push through the drain holes. Then, (again per a previous reviewer’s suggestion) poured a pot of almost boiling water over it. The gurgling and sound of water moving further down the drain than I’d ever heard before since this issue started was incredible- music to my ears!! -and only on the very first use. Should mention that I also used a lesser amount than some have suggested it’d take! I was about to call a plumber bc again, this has been a persistent issue. I’m a woman with long hair- and even though I try to be mindful of keeping hair from going into the drain, maybe that was the cause. I also have a pup that I sometimes wash in there, but always use an additional screen when washing her- still that might have also contributed. Regardless, this stuff worked like magic! I’ve truly never been so compelled to write a review before. The steam does create a slight odor, and once again- following advice of previous users, I put a mask on to be safe. It’s not overwhelming-and the smell didn’t last beyond the time I was pouring water over it- but to be safe, probably best to avoid inhaling it- if whatever is in there is powerful enough to clear my jammed up drain, I’m pretty sure it’s not something that’d be healthy to breathe into your lungs. Still, this got the job done the very first time. I will be washing the shower floor thoroughly before I step in there next (don’t want anything toxic on my skin), but am already excited for my next shower without any drain backup. If you’re having drain issues- do yourself a favor and try this. I’m glad I’d found this-was calling a plumber in the morning if it didn’t work-it does what it claims and ultimately saved me so much money!! Good luck w your drain issues and hope this works as well for you as it did for me!! 🤞🏻

Works even better than advertised! Cleared the problems with a bathroom sink drain in less than half an hour! Followed the directions, did it three times, and the pipe flows like new! Ended up using it on the other bathroom sink and the shower drain! Made in the USA by a US company makes it even better!

Had a clogged kitchen sink in a rental, did all the things- baking soda, dish soap, vinegar, nothing worked. Got the traditional liquid draino- used 2ce per instructions which was the entire bottle with no results. Ordered this, followed directions using about half a bottle- poured crystals into drain and then very hot water and it smoked a little, made a gurgling sound and tada! No more clog! Thank you Thrift! It WORKS!!!!

Seems to work well when used as preventative maintenance

I have been using heavy duty acid based drain cleaners for years with mediocre results. This product is far superior! Easy to use!

This stuff is amazing. It works so well on bathroom sinks to get rid of any hair and works quickly! I keep it on hand and have had no issues. Has a few uses in each bottle too. Not a single U.S. bottle so a good value.

Highly recommended product compared to liquid chemical alternatives. Works much better.

Drain cleaner is very good.. Made light work of a shower drain at my son’s university dormitory accommodation.. Drain was blocked from previous tenants and students over the years.. Cleared it with one application.

Came across this product on social media and have been dealing with a slow draining bathtub for the last few weeks, gave this a shot vs calling up the landlord to assist. Followed instructions and incredibly my bathtub be draining again! Just be mindful to wear gloves, goggles, mask when using as a precaution. Will definitely use again for any stubborn drains.

My washbasin was clogged a lot. The drain cleaner works as advertised. Just pour boiling hot water to activate the process. The situation is clear now.

Great product, there is enough to do a couple small drains in the bottle. Product works fast on most drains, some stubborn ones needed a second run through.
