Powerful Granular Drain & Trap Cleaner
We offer K-67 with patented granular Roetech bacteria instead of other brands because we believe this to be one of the best and safest drain cleaning products and certainly a great value.
K-67 bacterial drain and trap cleaner with patented Roetech bacteria is safe and effective to use (when used as directed as you wouldn't want to drink it for example).
You can use it on your shower drains, kitchen sink, bathtub drains, bathroom sinks, garbage disposal, septic tanks & fields, RV & boat holding tanks, laundry drain and floor drains. K-67 bacterial drain and trap cleaner is comprised of many unique bacterial strains. The bacteria in K-67 produces enzymes that will eat the most common types of buildups.
K-67 can eliminate or reduce many types of oils, grease, fat, even many modern synthetic detergents, other cleaners, soaps and toilet paper from the drain system.
If you maintain monthly usage with K-67 you will tend to have less drain stoppages.
K-67 is a dry powder that when mixed with water, activates the enzymes/bacteria. Mix one scoop of K-67 into 12 ounces of water, pour into the drain and let liquid sit over night in the trap before using the sink again.

Drain Hints
Overall, Plumbers probably get more calls to open clogged drains than any other service. Assuming the drainage lines were piped properly, tubs and showers usually have hair as the main cause of their stoppages. Physical removal of hair is best. The regular use of a product such as Roebic K-67 can help prevent slow drains and stoppages.
This bacteria-enzyme drain cleaner among other things contains viable bacteria cultures on a bran fiber carrier.
The most often clogged drain is the kitchen sink. Kitchen sink stoppages are usually caused by liquid fats, emulsified by warm soapy dishwater and then carried through the drainpipes. As the water cools it proceeds down the drain and leaves the fatty deposits along the piping. A film of grease forms on the pipe wall and so on. Coffee grounds, egg shells, etc add to this accumulation layer until the pipe becomes impassible. Not only that, but buildup often makes drain pipes smell awful.
We recommend that you pour excess grease into a tin can, not down the sink drain. When using a garbage disposal, always let sufficient cold water run to carry the particles down and into the main line to prevent buildup in the smaller waste lines.
In the event of a total stoppage, you should have a plunger (also known as a "plumber's friend") with a large rubber suction cup with a wooden handle. Cup it tightly over the drain and plunge it vigorously several times. It is best to try to use the suction cycle rather than the pressure cycle of the plunger.
What we mean is that one "should" push slowly, make sure the plunger is sealed to the drain and then pull quickly on the plunger. This tends to loosen rather than pack down the stoppage. If it is a double drain sink, make sure you seal the other drain so water will not splash out into the other bowl or on you. Drain piping can usually be cleaned by removing the J-bend on the trap below the fixture.
