Earth Friendly Drain OpenerEarth Friendly Drain Opener
Don't you just cringe when you open the bottle of the highly toxic, yet well-known, Liquid Plumber or Drano? We do! We don't want our children around such toxins, or our waterways poisoned by them! Cap your current bottles securely and send them back to your store. Tell them you are tired of poisons. Perhaps they will understand, someday . . .

Open your drain instead with a natural drain opener like Earth Friendly, or, use a kitchen plunger or a metal snake. Once the drain is opened, keep your pipes clear by pouring boiling water down the sink at least once a month.

 Sodium sesquicarbonate, Bacterial mixtures, and Proteolytic Enzyme.
