How To Use Bio-Clean
It’s best to apply Bio-Clean when drains won’t be used for 6 to 8 hours. (at bedtime for example) Apply Bio-Clean to each drain for 5 consecutive days to clean the drain and then use once per month as maintenance. Mixing Bio-Clean with warmwater works best.

Multi Story Buildings – Begin by treating the drains on the lowest floor of a commercial building, such as an apartment complex, in a 5-day purge. Once that floor is complete, move up to the next floor and repeat the process. Continue moving up a floor after each 5-day purge until all the floors in the building have been treated. This method of treating the drains in a building helps reduce the risk of clogs or blockages occurring during the treatment process. If a blockage does occur, try plunging the drain to dislodge any loose material that may be causing the issue. This is unusual, but it can be a sign that the organisms in the Bio-Clean product are working.
