Drains Need to Be Cleaned Properly
Clogged drains can be a source of frustration for any business. They disrupt daily operations, potentially causing water damage and health hazards. However, commercial drain cleaning products are readily available to help alleviate these issues.
Bio-Enzyme Drain Cleaners: Safe and Environmentally Friendly
Bio-enzyme drain cleaners are a safe and eco-friendly option for maintaining clean and clear drains. These products harness the power of natural enzymes and bacteria to break down organic waste, such as grease, food particles, and soap scum, that commonly cause blockages in commercial drains. The enzymes essentially “eat away” at the organic matter, leaving your plumbing system clean and unobstructed.
The safety aspect of bio-enzyme drain cleaners lies in their non-corrosive nature. Unlike harsh chemical drain cleaners that can damage pipes and pose health risks to those handling them, bio-enzyme cleaners are gentle on plumbing systems and non-toxic to humans and the environment. They are an excellent choice for preventive maintenance and periodic cleaning to keep your drains functioning smoothly.
Alkaline Drain Cleaners: Effective and Safe for Certain Applications
Alkaline drain cleaners are commonly used in commercial settings for their effectiveness in clearing tough clogs caused by grease, hair, and soap scum. They are safe when used as directed, and their safety largely depends on the appropriate handling and application. Alkaline drain cleaners are usually formulated with sodium hydroxide (lye) or potassium hydroxide, and they work by converting grease and proteins into soap, which is then easily rinsed away.
To ensure safe usage, it’s crucial to follow manufacturer instructions and use alkaline drain cleaners in well-ventilated areas while wearing appropriate protective gear. They should be used with caution and as a solution when milder options like bio-enzyme cleaners may not provide the desired results. When handled properly, alkaline drain cleaners are effective and pose minimal safety risks.
Mechanical Drain Cleaning Tools: A Safe Alternative to Chemicals
While chemical drain cleaners are common, an alternative and safe approach to cleaning commercial drains is mechanical drain cleaning tools. These tools include drain snakes, augers, and hydro-jetting systems. They work by physically removing blockages rather than relying on chemical reactions. Mechanical tools are not only safe for plumbing systems but also pose no risk to human health.
