Did not work!!!!!!! – Used this product in my basin TWICE!!!!!!!!!!! Made no difference to my basin waste water draining away. Wouldn't recommend this product at all .it did not desolve the hair at all.evev after doing it a second time !!!!!!!!!! Show details

total con – I bought a bottle to use In a bathroom drain. After following instructions and waiting hours, nothing has happened at all. There we as no sound, no smell, nothing! It was like pouring money down the drain. This product doesn't work. Show details

Waste of money – Poured the whole bottle into the blocked sink and nothing happened. It does not help to dissolve hair clogs as claimed in the label of the bottle. Misleading advertising for sure Show details

Works with a little help – My shower drain was completely blocked up. I followed the instructions on the bottle and poured half the contents into the pooled water around the drain. After 30 minutes nothing appeared to change so I flushed the shower with hot water. Still no change at that point. I gave it some more time (an hour or 2) and still the drain was clogged. The… Read more

magic secret, as others have stated here that the product needs a little help in the form of a plunger (or a toilet brush in my case) to get the water flowing. With a little bit of motion this product worked like a charm.

It actually works – I'm a sceptic when it comes to these sorts of products. I moved into a temporary property from another city and realised the bathroom sink was incredibly clogged. I found this product at Coles Supermarket. I used this according to the instructions but used the whole bottle and after 20 minutes it was completely unblocked. Would highly recommend before using plunger or calling a plumber!! Show details

Works Well for the right job – Our shower was progressively getting worse at draining. I was told by a family member to try a drain cleaner before getting a plumber. So I randomly chose this one off the shelf at Bunnings, and made sure to read ALL INSTRUCTIONS, including those on the back of the bottle. Followed the main instructions to the dot. The notice in water drain speed… Read more

was instance and was 100 times better just after one application.

There's still half a bottle left, so I'll use that next week as instructed, even though it has already done it's job.

A lifesaver – We have two sinks in our en-suite and the left one always gets blocked. Im not sure why that drain is always blocked but I believe it could be from all the make up products my wife washes down as that sink is hers. Lately, shes been using my side because hers is as mentioned above. Funnily enough, my side is now slowly draining. I have used… Read more

Mr Muscle a lot and it has never failed me. In fact, I used it a few minutes ago on the left sink and at first, I thought this time it didnt work because the other times, the Mr Muscle liquid would go right into the pipes but this time, the gel was just sitting there.

I left it for a few minutes and all of a sudden, the gel fell right through. I immediately ran the sink with hot water as stated on the back of the bottle. Instructions say you should wait 15-30 minutes but I was about to go to bed and didn't want to risk leaving it overnight.

I did however leave it for a few hours last time because I forgot all about it but it didnt leave any damage whatsoever.

So in a few words, all you need to do is open, pour, leave for a quarter of an hour (depending how severe the blockage was), then run the tap. Its that simple.

At the moment, Mr Muscle is offering a money back guarantee so you have nothing to lose if this product does not work for you.

Trust me, its worked 5 out of 5 times for me already.... Now, if only I can get my wife to stop using my sink...

Does not work – Two bottles later and problem is worse. Wish I kept receipt. Will call the plumber but thats 30 bucks form the drain, literally. And not to mention the use of hardly chemical.

rubbish – bought a bottle of mr muscle to un block my bathroom sink ,followed all the instructions ,but did not work at all. this is the second time I though I would give it a go,but it did not,what a lot of rubbish .never buying this companys products to be ripped off. Show details

It did an amazing job! – Didn't expect much and was getting ready to call a plumber in as the clog was very bad but still gave this a try and surprisingly it did work perfectly. It saved me lots of time and money. Show details

Didn't think it was working but cleared away drain perfectly – Used half bottle down shower drain as per directions but forgot and left for longer than recommended rises with hot water seemed to be worse first. Repeated and put some in connecting basin and worked wonders after running hot water for a while! Show details

Did not unclog drain outside kitchen – I bought this from Coles & got a full refund from Coles, as it did not work as promised. I had a drain hole just outside the kitchen behind the kitchen sink. The sink did not overflow, but washing up water with little food bits were coming out of the drain outside each time water ran down the kitchen. After pouring half of the product down… Read more

the sink & even the drain hole, & waiting the required time & flushing with water, nothing cleared. Repeated the process with the other half of the bottle, no change. Even after i used a hose to try to put pressure down the drain hole nope no improvement. A plumber came & simply put a small plunger into the drain hole & immediately the drain cleared! He said it was a build up of grease from food & probably pouring used cooking oil down the sink. I didn't know you could easily pull out the grill cover to access the pipe otherwise would have done so myself! He said don't use these kinds of products & the chemicals are no good & smell very strong. I would have been fuming at the call out charge had he not also fixed other things in my house to make the time worth it! And I was also nearly scammed on the phone by other plumbers who diagnosed over the phone that the drain needs to be realigned it might well be tree roots!

It made the problem worse – My kitchen sink was extremely slow draining. I bought Mr Muscle Drano Ultra Gel and followed the directions on the back of the bottle - I slowly poured the entire bottle down the drain. Five days later there is a scum covered inch or so of water/product sitting in my sink looking like an alien swamp and letting off fumes into my kitchen while I… Read more

wait for my real estate agent to get a plumber out here. TLDR; now instead of a slow drain I have a toxic waste pit in my house. I will never buy this product again.

Mr Muscle – I tried this product and it simply did not work very disappointed claiming it unblocks drains . not a good product i would recommend it and will not buy any products from this company at all.

Mr Muscle Ultra Gel drain cleaner – Had a twin tub kitchen sink that would not drain and infact back up into second basin and then very slowly drain away Used various products in recent weeks with no sucess. Sighted the Ultra gel in Woolworths and in desperation gave it a try Used whole bottle in two seperate applications Worked wonders. Drains `away now as fast as the water can go. Very good result, very happy

AMAZING!! – Shower drain was completely blocked, put in the product first time and waited 20 minutes and washed it out with hot water and then did it again and watched with my own eyes all the water go down the drain! Works perfect now, HIGHLY recommend!

Worked fine for me – I poured half of the bottle into a slow-running bathroom sink drain and left it for ca 1 hour, then flushed with hot tap water. The effect wasn't immediate but a few hours later the drain was running like new. I did not use a plunger.

Yay! – After trying the crystal version of draino without any luck on two occasions, I brought the gel version. Finally I fixed my issue I waited over 30 minutes after placing draino gel down the sink. I poured hot boiling water and I then used a plunger I think this is what really helped. I gave it a second round just to make sure and all good! I poured the remaining down other drains.

Dreadful. Total con – This product claims to "dissolve" clogged drains. After following the instructions, and placing 2 table spoons of the gunk down the drain, with the cup of cold water, and waiting 12 minutes.... NOTHING. I tried it two more times.. infact the damned drain is worse than when I began. This stuff is a total con. Hell I'm mad. They sell this… Read more

material claiming " wonder" and being " industrial strength" and it B.S I tested the powder out side in a cup full of water. There's no corrosive action, there's no dissolving agent ... there's clearly no NaOH ( Sodium Hydroxide )... There's nothing. This is a scam and sham product from Johnson and Johnson.

Did it's job – I'm sure that it depends on what clogs it, but it definitely worked for me. I would do use this again. My bathroom basin kept clogging up. And it made our stink look so yuk. But I left it in there for 3 hours lol cause I went shopping right after putting it in there.

Doesnt seem to work – Used it as per the instructions, left it for more than 30 minutes, bout an hr and a half. It cleaned the drain but did Nothing for the blockage. Might take up the advice on going to Bunnings for that $5 plunger. Certainly much cheaper. Disappointed as the label indicated a resolution to the problems it calmed to be able to fix.

Worked for me – Read the reviews on here but thought I'd give it a go after trying everything else short of calling a plumber. Thought it would be a 50/50 chance as I suspect it depends on what is actually causing the blockage determines the success of using this product. Here are the steps I took: - I poured down the whole bottle as it was a sever… Read more

blockage.

- Waited an hour instead of 15 or 30 mins as I forgot about it!

- Started running hot water through it as per the instructions. At this point only a slight improvement in drainage.

- Out of frustration I took to it with a plunger!

- Lo and behold it worked!

- Just to ensure everything would stay unblocked I did the old bi-carb/vinigar trick.

The key for me was using the plunger shortly running the hot water through as I suspect this product did loosen the blockage but didn't completely clear it. Probably due to the severity of the blockage.

Clogged drain even more – Update 27/9/2016: I'm updating my review from 2 to 3 stars to be fair to Ultra Gel, as i found out the problem wasn't due to a regular drain blockage. I'm not rating higher because i just don't know how it works on regular blockages - but it might work very well for all i know. The reason I'm changing my review is that the problem returned in a… Read more

less severe form to my kitchen, but also extended to my laundry and bathroom. So i ended up getting a plumber in. He found that the problem was due to roots, i think from a vine that used to be nearby, getting into the pipes, clogging the works.

I had a badly clogged drain in the kitchen. I'd tried a plunger, enzymes that i'd used for several days, a snake - none of these worked. When i'd use the plunger, it would bring water and muck back up which would take some time to go down again - but eventually it would.

So i bought this gel. The bottle said it could "Penetrate standing water," which was good, since that's what i had. I poured the whole bottle down 2 sink holes in line with the instructions. Mr Muscle suggested waiting 1/2 hour for the gel to take effect. Well, after 1/2 hour, nothing had happened except i could see one cleaner drain hole, and the smell was also better (although it was strong close up).

So i left it to sit overnight. Before, when i'd run water into the sink, and it had risen above the holes, or when i'd used the plunger and water and muck rose above them, they'd subside again by the following morning. But this time the level of fluid in the sinks was at the same level.

While Mr Muscle did remove the smell that sometimes occurred, it left the drain more blocked up than when it was before - except now it was also full of toxic caustic soda.

Update 30/5/2016: After a couple of days, i got up the next morning to find the Ultra Gel and water that had been standing in my sinks finally went down. The gel did appear to have made some progress, in that i could run the taps a little while longer before the water started rising into my sinks, but it didn't fix the problem: i still have a clogged drain.

Worked instantly to unclog hair ball on bathroom sink! – Definitely deserves a shot. It unclogged it so fast that I was surprised. The result will probably depend on what is blocking the pipe but if it is hair I'm confident it will make it.

It worked! unblocked a drain of what I suspect was hair – Our drain had been running slow for a while. After pulling apart the s bend pipe and clearing our hair, I was hoping that would fix the problem. But nope, only after pouring down this draino did our drain run smoothly. Suspect the blockage was in the pipe behind the wall (not the easiest part to get at. While expensive, it did the trick so 4 starts it is.

It is perfect – Our drain was blocked for 3 hours thinking what to do. Went to woolworths bought it. Poured it down the drain waited for 30 minutes instead of 15 minutes. And by itself it unblocked the drain. Perfect love it. I suggest it to all the people our there .. I'm about to buy 5 bottles leave them in the house incase something happened

simply does not work – Choose this drano gel as it's the most expensive on the shelf. Followed the instructions strictly and it's still blocked. Not happy. Went to bunning and bought a $5 plunger and problem fixed.

waste of money – 12 dollar seems like rip off for some chemicals which doesn't work at all, feels like just pouring some mineral water in my sink ..... don't trust it, it is expensive and useless.... use "plunger" or "turbo snake", Its commercial " it is cheap than a plumber" sounds like a joke, of course it is cheaper because it doesn't work at all... use your 12 dollar wisely, buy some fresh fruit or whatever anything good for you.

Absolute Rubbish Product – After having tried a few other chemical options without success, I bought Mr Muscle Drano Ultra Gel for $11.00 which did absolutely nothing! I then bought a $5 plunger and after a few forceful plunges, blockage gone and drain clear. Don't waste your money on this product, buy a plunger instead. Nothing Does not do as advertised

Terrible, didnt work at all – I recently purchased your Mr Muscle Draino ultra gel product & am wanting to let you know how dissatisfied I am with the result, or lack there of. We clean our drains regularly, our house is 4yrs old. We have always used the other Draino brand in the granules but saw your product & liked the advertising highlighting its 'professional strength'. … Read more

We attempted to clean 2 bathroom sink drains, using the whole bottle & it did not work at all. Hopefully this feed back is useful, we certainly wont be using this product again.

Did not meet advertising description at all
