User questions & answers

Question:	What's the difference btw. this and the amazoncommercial multi-purpose enzyme cleaner? which works better on kitchen sink drain grease/gunk
Answer:	I do not know how these would be in a restaurant ...I use 1/4 cup of baking soda followed by 1/4 cup of white vinegar in sink drain. Leave 15 minutes and pour boiling water down. Would think there would be lots of grease all over the inside pipes. I like these at home but do not know if strong enough for commercial
Question:	Is this just as effective as liquid clog remover by green gobbler or green gobbler ultimate main drain opener
Answer:	These are not just wax. If you ever want to know what's in a product, Google the product name + “MSDS". You'll usually get the material safety data sheet that says exactly what it is. These are mostly made of sodium sulfate (filler), salt, and calcium carbonate (antacid) - all harmless. They also contain amylase and lipase, the same strong enzymes your stomach uses to break down fat, grease, and starch. Trust me, they work, especially on stinky drains.
Question:	What is the shelf life of this product
Answer:	If the clog is organic, BioFresh will help. It will most likely take a few applications to remove the problem. The key is apply and not use the dishwasher for 6-8 hours. This allows the enzymes time to work on the blockage.
Question:	Will this eliminate Phorid Flies like other drain gels
Answer:	The fragrance in the product is biodegradable.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this product be used in toilets
Answer:	Yes it will. Let it sit in the water for a while and if it's really backed up use a plunger with it. The enzymes have to be able to get to the source of the problem. We have a tub where debris backs into it when it rains. We put the enzymes in, let it sit for a bit and the debris goes down the drain. The first time after we put the enzymes in we had to plunge because it was so stopped up. The second time we just put the enzymes in and let it sit in the watery debris and after 25 minutes all went down the drain by itself. Have never seen a product like this that actually works and is safe. We put it down every drain regularly (toilet as well) to keep things open.
Question:	Can this be used in a residential home (built in 2011) toilet
Answer:	I used it for that purpose, and it did not work at all. Baking soda and vinegar worked far better, as did other commercial products found on Amazon.
Question:	Does this work for clearing slow-flushing toilets? (The shower drains fine.) It seems it wouldn't be able to reach the pipes before being flushed
Answer:	if you use this full strength on your carpet, beware. if left unrinsed for several hours, it will eat up the carpet fibers. so dont leave for too long. also, the enzymes are so strong that your tongue will start going numb just from being in the same room and that wasnt even a half strength amout. best application ive found, my monthly personal experience, is that for animal stains, dilute as directed for carpet shampooing machines. never use overly hot water because it ills the enzymes. leave the washing application on the carpet up to an hour before rinsing. let enzymes do their job. 50% enzymes with 50% water is good for a spray bottle to clean messes but for heavens sake, blot up the chemical then rinse and blot that up too. ive got a few etches in my carpet because people here are too lazy and dont bother blotting and rinsing. i cant imagine the damage this chemical would do to clothing fibers.
Question:	I live i a old house with original plumbing and have a lot of slow drains, is this stuff good for daily treatment
Answer:	I just spray it with spray bottle on my clothes or whatever else I'm washing. Just allow it to sit in washer about 10-15 minute before starting wash
