Green Gobbler Drain Cleaner & Deodorizer FRESH SCENT Sticks for Toilet Tanks, Sinks, Bathtub Drains, Washing Machine Drains and Garbage Disposals - 24 Pieces

We have a 75 year old house that has chronic clogging problems in the kitchen line. The problem is in the floor drain about 25 feet out, where the kitchen/laundry line meets the main sewer line. I think the problem is that the pipes are just too narrow, and the corner at the connection is too sharp causing crud to build up and we get backups into the laundry room (basement) every few months. Weve tried EVERYTHING! Seriously, I cant even count the number of gallons of drain cleaner weve dumped down that thing. Weve tried copper sulfate and enzyme treatments... and while they all seem to help, the problem inevitably comes back. We finally purchased a sewer rod which is a tape-like snake designed for floor drains, and had just resigned ourselves to the fact that unless or until we could jack hammer out the pipe and replace it, wed just have to clear the thing manually every few months. Enter the Green Gobbler Drain Sticks. So the familiar glugging sound was starting again, and we were getting a little backup in the basement when doing laundry, so I figured it was time to try another overnight enzyme treatment - that usually helps a little. But on a lark I decided to buy some of these. I cant figure out how to get it into the sewer pipe itself since theres a sharp corner on the bypass to the floor trap that the stick would never make it around, so I just put one down the kitchen sink, and one in the laundry room sink where the washer drains, and within a week the glugging was GONE! Now, its only been 2 weeks, but I just added a new stick to the kitchen because that sink is in constant use (we cook a LOT) so I figure its probably dissolving quicker than it might with average use. Anyhow, its probably a little too soon to declare victory, so Ill report back after a few months and let you know if the results hold, but at the moment I am beyond overjoyed.

It cleaned kitchen & bathroom drains well & reduced odors significantly.

Just received.

Been using these for the past year and a half now. Today I pulled apart the kitchen drain to snake it out - noticed it was draining a bit slower than usual. The p-trap was fairly clear with just some mild buildup. The main line to the stack was a bit more clogged (maybe 20%). I did notice that the gunk wasnt as thick as in the past. Usually its like thick chocolate pudding - this time it was MUCH more loose and watery and it easily pushed out using my drain brush. I suspect this product works bests to keep the drain clear AFTER you snake it clean, but overall it wasnt as badly clogged as it has been in the past, so it appears to be helping none the less. Very pleased with this product and would recommend it most definitely.

I bought this huge pack of these and felt like I wasted most. The scent is nice, but I didnt notice a difference in ANY of the drains I used these in. Feels like a waste of money for the most part.

Weve used thes in our shower and bathroom sink drains for years. It helps with the yucky smells that can infiltrate the room. There was a bad review listed here that shows the homeowner laying the stick in the sink. That is not how these work! They are dropped into the drain, not left in the sink. In my opinion they are not meant to keep a drain clear but to prevent build up in a clean drain and prevent smells.

I have not use these long enough to know how well they may keep a drain from clogging, but I used to have a bad odor in the shower drain and now it’s gone but I have to put this in every single month for that

The sticks were dried out and brittle

Down the drain they go! These are going to be a regular thing in my house!

This drain was clogged every morning and this entire area would be backed up with water and debris. After two or three sticks, this drain is completely unclogged. I put two sticks down every drain inside and outside the house and the difference is huge!
