Questions & Answers

What's the best way to clean your stovetop with this product?

I clean commercial hoods with caustic soda in a one gallon chemical spray with a plastic wand because a metal wand will melt. 1 gallon of hot water and 1 cup caustic soda should be mixed together. Shake well, set aside for 10 minutes, then reshake, spray, and set aside for 15 minutes. Do not allow to dry. For baked-on grease, it's a dream come true.

Is there a foil seal under the cap on the bottles?

My bottle had no foil seal; I've bought this product from several different brands and never had a foil seal on the bottles. The only other thing I'll say is that if you don't follow the instructions, you'll end up with a lot of fumes.

Hair and grease are no match for this product

5/5

Only add to standing water if the directions on the label are followed. This is what we used to call Caustic Soda back in the day, and it works perfectly. Because the granuales are small, they are easier to work with in small spaces. Hair and grease are its favorite foods! Follow the directions to the letter, and always add to standing water; otherwise, it will release toxic fumes!.

Everything went according to plan

5/5

This was purchased to unclog a clogged sink. When I poured in water to get those white beads down the drain to the blockage, I was surprised it didn't "sputter" or "boil. " I began to wonder if the product I had received had been denatured. The drain, in any case, is free of obstructions. As a result, it succeeded. Just in case, I'll continue to be cautious.
