Drain treatment
Enzyme Drain Maintainer
A bacteria- or enzyme-based liquid that slowly digests grease and organic build-up. It works over hours, not minutes, and is meant for upkeep rather than emergencies.

7.2/ 10Good
- Strength: Much gentler on pipes and skin than caustic drain openers
- Strength: Good at preventing the slow build-up that causes blockages
- Caveat: Slow — not the thing to reach for when the sink is already full
- Caveat: Ongoing cost if you use it regularly
Information confidence: Medium
Enzyme products are well documented for maintenance use. Effectiveness on an existing full blockage is genuinely mixed.
Best for
- Kitchen drains that keep slowing down
- Keeping a clear drain clear
Not for
- A drain that is already fully blocked
- Non-organic blockages
Pros
- Safe for most pipe materials
- No fumes
Cons
- Works slowly
- Won't clear a solid blockage
