More Details

Product Identity:

  • Brand: Mr. Muscle (part of SC Johnson, a global consumer goods company). However, in India, it's often marketed under the "Kiwi Mr. Muscle Dranex" or simply "Kiwi Dranex" brand, with the manufacturer sometimes listed as Brillon Consumer Products Pvt Ltd (formerly SC Johnson) in India.

  • Product Name: Dranex Drain Cleaner

  • Variant: This specific listing refers to the 50g single-use or small pack.

  • Form: Powder

Key Features and Benefits:

  • Heavy-Duty Clog Removal: Dranex is formulated as a powerful solution to tackle stubborn blockages. It's designed to melt away common culprits of drain clogs such as:

    • Hair

    • Grease and oil

    • Food particles

    • Soap scum

  • Fast-Acting: One of its main advantages is its quick action. It typically works within 30 minutes to clear blockages, providing rapid relief from clogged sinks and pipes.

  • Multi-Purpose for Drains: It's effective for various household drains, including:

    • Kitchen sinks and washbasins

    • Bathroom drains (showers, washbasins)

    • Balcony drains

  • Prevents Future Clogs & Odors: Regular use can help prevent the accumulation of debris, ensuring free-flowing drains over time. It also helps in eliminating unpleasant odors caused by trapped decaying matter.

  • Safe for Pipes and Septic Tanks: When used as directed, it is generally considered safe for common drain pipes (like PVC/plastic) and septic tanks, meaning it won't damage your plumbing system.

  • Economical and Convenient: The 50g pouch is a single-use dose, making it convenient and affordable for addressing individual clogs. It's often sold individually or in multi-packs (e.g., pack of 3, 5, or 6).

Key Ingredients (Typical):

Drain cleaners like Dranex primarily rely on strong alkaline chemicals to break down organic matter. While the exact proprietary formula isn't fully disclosed, common active ingredients include:

  • Sodium Hydroxide (Caustic Soda/Lye): This is a powerful alkali that reacts with organic materials like grease, hair, and soap to break them down into a soluble form.

  • Sodium Carbonate (Washing Soda): Helps in dissolving grease and enhancing the cleaning action.

  • Some formulations might also contain Sulphuric Acid (though less common in powder forms for general household use compared to industrial strength liquids) or other surfactants and chelators to improve efficacy.

  • Despite some online mentions of "Kiwi enzymes" or "Kiwi scent," many 50g powder packets are noted as "unscented" or have a very subtle odor.

How to Use (Standard Instructions):

  1. Remove Excess Water: If the drain is completely blocked, remove any standing water from the sink, washbasin, or tub.

  2. Empty Contents: Carefully empty the entire contents of the 50g pouch (or the recommended amount) directly into the blocked drain.

  3. Add Water: Pour approximately one cup of water into the drain over the powder.

  4. Wait: Leave the solution to work for 30 minutes.

  5. Flush: Flush the drain well with plenty of water to clear the blockage.

  6. Repeat (if necessary): For very stubborn blockages, a second application might be required.

  • Important Note: It is generally NOT recommended for use in toilets.

Safety Precautions:

This is a chemical product and must be handled with extreme care:

  • CORROSIVE: It is highly corrosive and can cause severe burns to skin and eyes.

  • ALWAYS use gloves and eye protection.

  • Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. In case of contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical attention.

  • Keep out of reach of children and pets. Store in a safe, secure place.

  • DO NOT mix with other drain cleaners, acids, or bleach, as this can create dangerous fumes or violent reactions.

  • Ensure good ventilation when using.

  • Do not inhale fumes.

  • Do not use if drain is completely clogged and water is standing still for a long time, as it might splash back.
