Instructions

For Drain Care to work properly, you need to establish a partial flow so the enzymes can reach further down the pipes and start the cleaning process. Lift the drain stoppers and remove hair to allow Drain Care to reach as far as possible. Run warm water into the drain before treatment. Mix 1 scoop in 1 pint of warm water. Pour the mixture into the drain, and do not use for 6 hours. Treat for 3 consecutive days. Repeat treatment as necessary. Use once a month to keep drains clean. Drain Care is safe and beneficial for all plumbing and septic systems. TO TREAT TOILETS: Pour mixture in and flush once. Do not use for 6 hours. Treat for 3 days in a row. GARBAGE DISPOSALS: Pour mixture into running disposal. Quickly turn off disposal and allow to sit overnight. Repeat as needed.

Pro-Tip: Monthly drain maintenance removes build ups, preventing clogs. Sign up for our Pro Care Reminders from the Zep Commercial home page to help you remember the date!
