I don't usually write a review, and in fact this is the first one I've ever written on amazon, but this product saved me from a lot of hassle. Recently, I moved into a new apartment after hearing some good things about the new renovations they were doing. However, after only a week of living there, I came across several things in my apartment that made my life more stressful than it needed to be. One of those things: a disgusting clog in my shower. I'm not sure what whoever it was who lived here before me did to that poor drain, but that was an abnormally disgusting clog. Everytime I finished taking a shower, when the ankle-deep pool of water would finally drain away, I would come back to find something gross and black staining the tub. I know for a fact it did not come from me. It looked like a bunch of dirt just caking parts of what should be my nice and pristine area for getting clean.
Needless to say, it got disgusting enough to where I felt I needed to do something about it. I wasn't going to unclog it the old-fashioned way, of course. To start with, doing it by hand always makes me sick to my stomach. Also; I wasn't sure it was just going to be hair down there, not with all that muck leaking into my tub. I didn't want to find out what it was the person living there before me had in their drain.
That's when I came across Green Gobbler on Amazon. I figured it didn't cost much and it was worth trying out after all the good reviews I saw. I even checked out the YouTube videos that showed in better depth just how well it worked with various types of clogs. I was impressed and convinced, so I bought it. Needless to say, after suffering with that disgusting muck in my tub and having to constantly clean it out every time I finished a shower, I was excited to try this out once it arrived. I followed the directions and poured the first half in, leaving it for half an hour. Then I rinsed it out with scalding hot water. I even went to the extra trouble of going to a sink and using the hot water from that to put in a pitcher that I could pour down the drain of the tub since the water in my shower would take a while to heat up.
Much to my dismay, nothing changed. It only kept clogging and spouting gross stuff into my tub. That's when I went for the next suggestion: putting the second half in and leaving it there overnight. I was actually desperate enough to where I left it there for longer than just overnight. I kept it in for 15 hours. Practically two nights worth of sleep for me. Afterwards, I did the same thing. I grabbed a pitcher, filled it with steaming water from my sink, and dumped the pitcher of water right into the drain of my tub.
Needless to say, given my five star review: it worked. I could tell right from the start as I drained the pitcher that the drain was having no trouble functioning, but just to be sure, I left the shower running for five minutes - which is how long it takes before the water is suddenly ankle-deep - and sure enough, not a single inch of water was left standing in the tub. Perhaps for those with bad reviews that said they left the solution in overnight the second time around with no change simply didn't keep it in as long as they should have? Regardless, I'm certainly not complaining. It took more than one try, but I would also like to think that clog wasn't a normal one. Thank you green gobbler! You made my life at this horrible apartment a little less miserable!
