I've used it seven times so far, and I'm still about two-thirds of the way through the bottle. I should be able to get about 20-minutes of sleep at this rate. From a 2 pound bottle, you can get 21 applications, which is about 4 months of monthly maintenance.
Today, it did wonders for our drains. We were having some water pipes replaced in our home and asked the plumber if he could unclog our kitchen sink drain, which was running extremely slowly. After a really stinky chemical reaction, he returned from his truck with a bottle of this stuff, and the drain was flowing like new 15 minutes later. It was impossible for me to believe what I was hearing. This drain had been slow for years, and no matter what we tried, nothing worked, drain-wise. o, liquid plumber, and so on. To be honest, I was taken aback. It looked like something out of an infomercial. a "miracle" product, to put it mildly. but yeah. It had the desired effect. It turned out to be a huge success. So I'm going to go ahead and order a bottle right now, which is how I came to be here in the first place.
In my kitchen, I have two sinks (one with a disposal, the other without); Only in sinks without a disposal do I use the Thrift. Some residual product may end up in the disposal system, but this has never been an issue for me.
Fill a cup with hot water and pour it down the drain. Then wait until the next morning to run any water.br> After that, use it once a month to keep drains clear.

br>br>Here are some suggestions for how to use it:
1. Rubber gloves should be on hand to protect your hands. br>2. Allow your clogged drain to'sit' for 24 hours before using this to allow the water to drain around it, allowing for more direct contact with the clog. br>3. Use this on a hot day when you can open the windows in the room where it's being used to ventilate for 6 hoursbr>4. All pets and children should be kept away from the work area, and the doors to that room should be closed and vented (acid fumes will burn eyes/membranes). br>br>Note: This will NOT work if you have a drain with'standing' water due to a major clog. The boiling water and THRIFT must be able to race down your pipes, which cannot happen if water is already standing on top of the drain. br>br>How do I put it to use?
1. I let the clogged drain sit for 24 hours without running any new water to allow the water to drain away, exposing the hair clog in the pipe that I want to clear with this product. br>2. I bring a medium pot of water to a boil over high heat with a sturdy handlebr>3. I open the windows in the bathroom I'm treating and remove any obstructions (curtains) that might prevent the window from properly venting. br>4. When the water is nearly boiling, I put on my rubber gloves and pour 1 cup of THRIFT powder down the clogged sink and tub drains.
5. I then return to the kitchen, pick up the boiling water pot, and carry it to the bathroom.
6. While gently pouring boiling water over the two piles in the tub and sink, I hold my breath. THIS COULD RESULT IN AN INSTANT VOLCANIC EXPLOSION OF THE THRIFT. EXIT THE ROOM IMMEDIATELY AND CLOSE THE DOOR.
7. Your soft membranes (eyes) will be burned if you stay in the room for more than 30 seconds. Exit the room, shut the door, and allow the air to circulate. At this point, the THRIFT acid will be rushing down your pipes, devouring any clogs.
8. Allow for at least 1 hour of ventilation with the window open (and the fan on).
9. All water in the bathroom should be used again. The drain must be completely free of obstructions. Make sure your rubber gloves are stored for the next time you need them, and that the THRIFT is kept out of reach of pets and children.
Please use caution; I used this on a clogged shower drain and it miraculously opened it in under a minute. However, it did open it up to the crawl space, which was unfortunate. I used it on the other bathroom shower because I didn't realize it would damage the P trap under the shower. br>After two days, I had to spend $4000 to replace all of the iron cast pipes under my house. br>My house was built in 1960 and is quite old. STAY AWAY if you have iron cast pipes!.
This is exactly what the doctor ordered, in my opinion. br>It was surrounded by a lot of hype - - Put on gloves, goggles, and other protective equipment. If I tried to use it, I was expecting a near-explosion. And that's exactly what happened - on a small scale. However, it was not as bad as I had anticipated. Before I used it, I put on gloves and goggles and ran hot water down the drain to make sure the pipes were hot. br>It did belch, erupt, foam up, and spew hair and dark matter, but it all happened at the same time - It was over after that. br>I was expecting a dark, foreboding plume of poisonous vapors to rise from the drain, but it didn't. (I hadn't read the fine print on the bottle, which said it was odorless. ) That is correct. )br>I had turned on the overhead fan that we had installed in the bathroom ceiling many years ago, but it turned out that it wasn't necessary. br>It was a very brief experience, aside from wiping out the sink with a sponge and some cleaner spray. However, the proof of the pudding is in the eating - I turned on the faucet, and the water immediately drained away - without any reservations at all br>That, after all, was the whole point. br>Suffice to say, this stuff does exactly what it says on the tin - It instantly unclogs your drain and has no unpleasant side effects.
One of the disadvantages of renting is that you never know what the previous tenant flushed down the toilet. After squandering money on store-bought "maximum strength" drain cleaner every month or two, I decided on a limited, tactical nuclear response. br>br>Type Thrift T- into the search box. 200 I warmed the pipes by running the shower on the hottest setting for several minutes before pouring about 3/4 cup of the frosted flakes of death down the drain. I used boiling water to activate it, then executed a flawless dive roll out the bathroom door to escape the doomsday mist. br>br>After about ten minutes, I paid a small child to check out the damage in the bathroom. The little trooper said the drain was clear as he staggered out of the bathroom. Once again proving that a moron, poison, and underpaid child labor can't fix.
