Initial Treatment
ALWAYS apply Bio-Clean when drains won't be used for 6 to 8 hours (at bedtime for example).
Mix with 1 litre of water per level scoop (included in container) used. Lukewarm water is
best – never hot. Apply Bio-Clean to each drain for 5 consecutive days. If a drain remains
sluggish, extend treatment a few more days before going to maintenance schedule.
Floor Drains – Apply one level scoop for each 2.5 cm of pipe diameter (10 cm – 4 scoops, 5 cm
– 2 scoops, etc.)
All other drains – 1 level scoop each.
- If a drain is not flowing, cable drain first. If it cannot be cabled, then add 1 level
scoop in 1 litre of water each day until the bacteria eat through the length of
stoppage.
This could take days or even weeks, but is better than replacing your pipes.
- Never use other drain products while using Bio-Clean.
- For homes on Septic: treat septic before house drains.
- On multi-story buildings start initial treatment on the lowest level (e.g. basement) and
progress to the top. Complete the 5-day treatment on each floor before going to the next
floor.
- Buildings with main sewer problems over 30 metres from building need additional amounts
according to the length of sewer. For 60 m double original dosage and water. Triple for
90 m, etc.
- Drain pipe flow will improve within 1 to 3 weeks. During this time a stoppage may occur
due to chunks of waste loosened. Use a plunger or cable to restore flow. Do not become
discouraged, this means Bio-Clean is removing the build-up and with periodic treatment
will prevent re-accumulation.
- Very hard water causes slime in toilet reservoir tanks. Add 1 level scoop as needed to
eliminate slime. Do not flush for several hours.
- Mouthwash should be disposed of into toilet. If sink must be used, flush with large
volume of water.
- Hair digests very slowly and sometimes builds up in great quantities. Severe build up
may require daily treatment for thirty to sixty days unless the bulk of the blockage is
first removed manually. Once removed manually or with extended treatment, regular
maintenance applications will keep hair deposits from reforming.
- If extended treatment or use of mechanical aid does not restore full flow, you almost
certainly have some inorganic solid (toy, glass, toothbrush or bobby pins) in the trap
or line which will have to be removed manually.
- Roots – Although Bio-Clean will not attack live tissue, its use will discourage root
growth by eliminating waste buildup (their food). If roots are known to exist within the
sewer pipes, enough root killer for the length of line should be used before trees start
new growth in spring. After using root killer wait two weeks before re-starting the use
of Bio-Clean.
Maintenance
Apply Bio-Clean once a month per the following chart. Mix with 1 litre water per level scoop
used. Lukewarm water is best – never hot.
| Floor Drains |
2 level scoops |
| All Other Drains |
1 level scoop |
Homes on a septic system having garbage disposal dishwasher or washing machine: one spoonful
of Bio-Clean should be added each WEEK to each of these drains.
