Chemical pipe cleaners are often aggressive and not only pollute the environment, but also the pipes. Biological enzyme cleaners are a sustainable alternative that dissolve blockages naturally - without any harmful chemicals.

How do enzyme cleaners work?
Biological pipe cleaners contain special enzymes and microorganisms that break down organic deposits such as grease, food residues, soap residues and hair. They do not work immediately like chemical cleaners, but break down blockages gradually.
✅ Advantages:
✔️ Gentle on pipes and seals
✔️ Environmentally friendly, as it does not contain any aggressive chemicals
✔️ Odour-neutralizing due to the biodegradation of organic substances
When and how should you use enzyme cleaners?

For light blockages or bad drain odors
Usually used overnight - the enzymes need time to take effect
