A drain cleaner is a chemical-based consumer product that unblocks sewer pipes or clogged wastewater drains. The term may also refer to a mechanical device such as a plumber's snake, drain auger, toilet plunger, or similar device. Occasionally, the term is applied to a plumber or other individual who performs the drain cleaning and hygiene.
Foaming drain cleaner
InactiveUS6479444B1Process stabilityIncrease contact timeInorganic/elemental detergent compounding agentsHigh foaming compositionsHalf-lifeEngineering
A composition is provided comprising two liquids which are separately maintained prior to forming an admixture during delivery to a surface to be treated, whereupon the admixture generates a foam sufficient for cleaning efficacy and stability. A first liquid preferably includes a hypohalite, or a hypohalite generating agent and a second liquid preferably includes a peroxygen agent. As the two liquids are initially separated, the hypohalite generating agent can be maintained in an environment free of peroxygen agent and otherwise conducive to their cleaning activity and stability up to the time of use. When the two liquids are allowed to mix, for example, by simultaneously pouring into a drain, the hypohalite and peroxygen react to liberate oxygen gas. As foam generation occurs, the escaping gas contacts surfactant in the solution, and creates foam which expands to completely fill the drain pipe. The expanded foam contains an excess of the hypohalite, which acts to clean the drain. A method of cleaning drains is provided which comprises the step of pouring into a drain at least one liquid which generates foam in situ, the foam characterized by a density of at least about 0.1 g / ml, a half life of greater than about thirty minutes, a volume of at least about 500 ml, and wherein the foam contains a cleaning-effective amount of a drain cleaning active.

A composition is provided comprising two liquids which are separately maintained prior to forming an admixture during delivery to a surface to be treated, whereupon the admixture generates a foam sufficient for cleaning efficacy and stability. A first liquid preferably includes a hypohalite, or a hypohalite generating agent and a second liquid preferably includes a peroxygen agent. The first liquid is thickened to a specified rheology, resulting in the generation of a highly effective foam. As the two liquids are initially separated, the hypohalite generating agent can be maintained in an environment free of peroxygen agent and otherwise conducive to their cleaning activity and stability up to the time of use. When the two liquids are allowed to mix, for example, by simultaneously pouring into a drain, the hypohalite and peroxygen react to liberate oxygen gas.

Drain pipe cleaning deivce and method
InactiveUS20140190516A1Easy constructionEasy to operateHollow article cleaningDomestic plumbingEngineeringDrain cleaner
A drain cleaner for cleaning entangled obstructions such as a clog from a drain pipe such as a sink, tub or shower. A rod extending into the drain pipe is formed of a material which is either metal or plastic but stiff enough that it will not buckle but flexible enough to bend around curves. Arms connected to the distal end of the rod normally flex outwardly such that when the arms are inserted into the pipe they are resiliently flexed against the inside wall of the pipe, the arms being circumferentially spaced apart from each other to create spaces between them and each arm can each flex resiliently independent of the other arms. The device may push some of the clog through to be washed out of the pipe. Obstruction material which is not moved downstream will then be grasped by the arms as the arms move outwardly against the inside wall of the pipe. The rod is then pulled back rearwardly toward the drain opening and the arms catch the obstruction material which did not get flushed downstream, and pull the obstruction material rearwardly to and out of the drain opening. A method for cleaning a drain pipe using the device of the present invention.
