Directions from Packaging

DIRECTIONS: Start-Up Treatment For Drains: Run warm water for one minute. Turn off water and pour 10 ounces into drain. Briefly run WARM water again (approximately 2 cups). Avoid running water for 6-8 hours*. For Slow-Running Toilets: 1. Flush 4 ounces down toilet for 3 consecutive days. 2. Don’t flush for 6-8 hours* after initial treatment. *It may be easiest to treat before going to bed or work. On-going Treatment: Pour 2 ounces down each drain and 4 ounces down each toilet every 2-4 weeks. NOTE: Intitial use may cause loosened build-up to slow or, in rare cases, block the flow of water. Don’t worry—this means Drano Max Build-Up Remover is working to remove build-up. Simply plunge and repeat the treatment. For best results: Clear pipes of any clogs before start-up treatment with a DRANO Clog Remover. Use as directed. This product will not open clogs. For clogged drains, try DRANO MAX GEL Clog Remover.

Understanding scores

EWG provides information on cleaning product ingredients from the published scientific literature, to supplement incomplete data available from companies and the government. The ratings indicate the relative level of concern posed by exposure to the ingredients in this product - not the product itself - compared to other product formulations. The ratings reflect potential health hazards but do not account for the level of exposure or individual susceptibility, factors which determine actual health risks, if any.

HOW WE DETERMINE SCORES

Hazard score

The Healthy Cleaning ingredient hazard score, from A to F, reflects known and suspected hazards linked to the ingredients. The EWG VERIFIED® mark means a product meets EWG’s strictest criteria for transparency and health.
