Directions from Packaging

Shake well before using. SLOW DRAINS: Pour 6-8 ounces down your drain on 3-5 consecutive nights, after you are done using the drain for the evening. This will allow EARTHWORM to work when the drain is inactive (while you sleep). SEVERE CLOGS: As EARTHWORM loosens the organic material, the drain may seem slower at first. This is good, as it means EARTHWORM is working. If there is a large amount of clogging material, although loosened, it may remain in place. If this occurs, plunge and continue to use EARTHWORM. REGULAR MAINTENANCE: Pour 6-8 oz. of EARTHWORM directly into drain. Using EARTHWORM twice a week will keep your drains free of clogs and smelling fresh. GARBAGE DISPOSALS: Pour 4-6 oz. of EARTHWORM directly into disposal. Using EARTHWORM 2-3 times per week keeps your disposals clean, clear and smelling fresh. 


Warnings

CAUTION: KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. IF EARTHWORM is accidentally ingested drink large quantities of milk and water and seek medical attention. Avoid direct contact with eyes. Do not use in contact with acid or alkaline drain openers or bleach, as they will lessen EARTHWORM's ability to work effectively. Do not store in extreme heat (over 100 F) or cold (under 32 F).

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.
