Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

A popular Italian restaurant in York was constantly battling with slow-draining pot wash sinks due to the inevitable build-up of oils, sauces, and food scraps. Their team found that regular maintenance with a standard cleaner wasn't enough, leading to frequent operational delays.

"We were fighting with the same sink every couple of weeks. Since we started using the Jantex liquid drain cleaner as a monthly preventative, we haven't had a single issue. It just works."

Michael Edwards – Head Chef

The restaurant has eliminated mid-service plumbing emergencies and reduced their maintenance downtime, allowing the kitchen to operate at full capacity without interruption.

Why 'Professional Use Only' Delivers Professional Results

Ever wondered what 'For Professional Use Only' really means? Think of it like the difference between a family car and a Formula 1 car. Both will get you around a track, but one is engineered with highly concentrated power for a specific, high-performance job. This professional drain unblocker contains a much more potent concentration of active ingredients than the stuff you'd find in a supermarket.

This increased strength is specifically designed to dissolve the stubborn organic matter unique to commercial settings – namely Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) combined with food particles. While a domestic cleaner might struggle, this formula is built to cut through that heavy-duty build-up quickly and efficiently. It's this professional-grade power that makes it so effective, but also why it must be handled with the respect and safety precautions outlined in the instructions.

Installation and Maintenance Guide

Applying the Solution

Before you begin, ensure you are wearing suitable protective gloves and eye protection.
For blockages, carefully pour 250-500ml of the solution directly into the drain opening.
Never mix this product with any other chemicals, especially bleach or other drain cleaners.
Allow the formula to work for at least 1 hour for slow drains, or overnight for severe blockages.
Once the time is up, flush the drain thoroughly with plenty of hot (not boiling) water from the tap.

Keeping It Going

To prevent future build-up, apply a smaller maintenance dose of around 150-200ml weekly or fortnightly.
Always store the bottle in a cool, dry, and secure location away from foodstuffs and out of reach of children.
Keep the cap tightly sealed and the bottle upright to prevent leaks.
Wipe up any spills immediately and dispose of the cloth safely.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Drain Cleaner

Not sure what fits your kitchen's needs best? Here’s a quick guide to making the right choice.

Assess the Problem

Is it a complete blockage or just a slow drain? This liquid works for both, but the amount and contact time will differ. It's specifically formulated for organic matter like grease and food.

Prioritise Safety

Professional-grade means powerful. Ensure your staff are trained in its use and have access to the necessary PPE like gloves and safety glasses. Safety data sheets should always be on hand.

Liquid vs. Other Forms

A ready-to-use liquid is often the quickest and easiest solution for busy staff. There's no measuring powders or dissolving solids, reducing mess and prep time during a busy service.

Check Pipe Compatibility

This Jantex GG189 drain cleaner is safe for modern PVC and stainless steel pipes, which covers most commercial kitchen setups. Always double-check if you have older or unusual plumbing.

Preventative vs. Reactive

The best cure is prevention. A heavy-duty formula like this is perfect for a regular maintenance schedule, saving you from the stress and cost of a full-blown emergency blockage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How long does the Jantex GG189 take to work?

A: It can start working in as little as one hour on slow-running drains. For stubborn or complete blockages, we recommend leaving it to work overnight for the best results.

Q: Is this drain cleaner safe for my stainless steel sinks?

A: Yes, the formula is non-damaging to both stainless steel and PVC, making it ideal for the vast majority of commercial kitchen sinks, pipes, and floor drains.

Q: What safety gear should I use when handling this product?

A: As this is a corrosive professional chemical, you must wear suitable protective gloves and eye/face protection at all times during application.

Q: Does it have a very strong chemical smell?

A: It has a slight detergent scent designed to be less harsh than many industrial cleaners. However, ensuring good ventilation in the area during use is always best practice.

Q: How much of the bottle should I use for one blockage?

A: For a typical blockage, pouring 250ml to 500ml directly into the drain is recommended. The bottle contains enough for multiple applications.

Q: Can I pour boiling water down the drain after using it?

A: No. Do not mix with boiling water or other chemicals. After the treatment time, flush thoroughly with hot water from the tap.

Q: Is this a thick gel or a thin liquid?

Q: Can this be used for preventative maintenance?

A: Absolutely. It's highly effective when used in smaller doses on a weekly or bi-weekly basis to prevent the build-up of grease and fat in the first place.
