Probioottinen viemärinpuhdistaja (tiiviste), 5l

For a slow drain caused by organic build-up (grease, soap scum, hair decomposition, and biofilm), one overnight treatment with a full dose of neat concentrate (100–150ml poured directly into the drain before bed) will typically restore normal flow by the following morning. The probiotic bacteria digest organic blockages progressively — for severely blocked drains, a second treatment on the second night may be needed. Note that probiotic drain cleaners are not effective on mechanical blockages (solid objects, root intrusion, or structural pipe damage), which require physical clearing.

Yes — and it is actively beneficial for septic systems. Septic tanks function through biological decomposition of organic waste, and their effectiveness depends on a healthy population of decomposer bacteria. Most chemical drain cleaners (especially caustic soda-based products) kill the bacterial culture in septic tanks, reducing their processing efficiency and causing more frequent pump-outs. The Sanitify Probiotic Drain Cleaner adds compatible Bacillus strains that support the septic system’s biological activity, improving decomposition efficiency over time.

No. The Sanitify Probiotic Drain Cleaner contains no caustic chemicals (no sodium hydroxide, no potassium hydroxide) and no acids — both of which can corrode pipe materials over time. The probiotic formula is fully safe for all pipe materials including PVC, ABS plastic, copper, cast iron, clay, and stainless steel. Unlike chemical drain cleaners that react exothermically with blockages (generating heat that can soften PVC joints), the probiotic formula works at ambient temperature without any thermal or chemical stress on pipe materials.

Chemical drain openers clear existing blockages but leave a sterile pipe surface that rapidly recolonises with biofilm — the slippery, organic layer that causes most drain odour and provides the foundation for recurring blockages. Probiotic drain treatment establishes a resident colony of beneficial bacteria on the pipe wall that continuously digest incoming organic matter — grease, soap, food particles, and biofilm precursors — before they accumulate into a blockage. Weekly maintenance doses of 50ml per drain sustain this colony and essentially provide continuous organic waste management in the drainage system.

Yes — commercial restaurant kitchen drains are one of the primary use cases for this product. Keittiös produce high volumes of emulsified grease, food particles, and detergent residue that rapidly form biofilm and block floor drains and waste pipes. A daily 50–100ml dose added to the main kitchen drain after close of service provides ongoing biological digestion of grease and organic waste. Many restaurants report eliminating the need for monthly chemical drain treatments after 4–6 weeks of consistent probiotic maintenance.
