Quest Specialty DIGEST PLUS Foaming Drain Cleaner and Odor Eliminator, 2 count

For the record I am reviewing: Quest Specialty DIGEST PLUS Foaming Drain Cleaner and Odor Eliminator, 2 count UPDATE: We recently discovered that the house we are renting is on septic, because of this we stopped using out garbage disposal. After 6 months we began to smell a very strong mold smell coming from the sink, we tried several things to get rid of the smell. Nothing worked until I remembered that I had one can of this stuff left. I used the whole can on the garbage disposal side of the sink, filling it about 5 times and letting it sit for an hour between treatments. Then I flushed the sink with boiling water. The smell is gone, the disposal is clear and I could not be happier with this stuff. It has been about 10 days and the smell has not returned. I was worried about it for health reasons, and I am a big fan of this stuff now. So, after reading several reviews I decided to give this stuff a try. My bathroom sink has had this rotten egg stench coming from the drain for about three months. Every time we ran some water it would stink really bad and bending over when brushing your teeth was like sticking your head into a garbage can that had been sitting in the sun. Our sink has a small overflow opening in the front for water to go thru when it gets near the top. I figured the smell was coming from their. I put the tube which did come with the can, got two cans and two tubes, into the overflow opening and attached the other end to the can, then gave it good shake, and pressed the button. It flushed the drain out really well like so many have shown in their pictures. I let a mound of foam pile up in the sink and then let it sit there until all the foam was gone. I let it sit for about an hour or two then washed all the gunk down the drain. I then repeated the process probably five more times. Letting the foam sit and do it's work for several hours each time before washing the gunk away. I immediately noticed the fragrance. I am not a person that enjoys perfumes and fragrances so it was not appealing for me. But it was not bad either it was not over powering. When I was done, I removed the hose from the can and left the other end in the opening of the sink and ran hot water thru the overflow to rinse the area out. That might be the trick to getting a really well done job completed. Once that was done I washed the sink, and the perfume smell was down to a minimum. For me that was perfect. The best part was this morning when I brushed my teeth, NO ROTTEN EGG SMELL. Yes it worked and it worked really well. So, the only thing to do now is see how long it takes for the smell to return, I imagine that since this is the first time in the past 15 years that this sink drain and overflow have actually been cleaned, and rinsed with HOT water that the smell will not come back anytime soon, but IF IT DOES, I will come back and update my review. But for now, I am 100% satisfied with my purchase. Although, I didn't need to buy two cans. The first can still has about a third left in it and I used a lot each time. So, maybe only get one can if you have only one sink. But if you have several I would think two cans can handle three sinks. Hope this helps. On December 2nd I had to clean the drain out again. So, I am pretty pleased that this product cleaned out my sink for about 6 months. The really nice part is that I am still using the first can and have enough to last me for the next year or more. Still loving this product.

This stuff blasts gunk out of the sink drain and offers a nice smell, too. It is a strong smell, so I use gloves/mask to keep from getting a headache/dry mouth from it. But it works and the decent smell lasts in the drain for days. I find it works best if I remove the drain cover in the sink and run the tube down the overfill drain. The foam comes up the main drain and brings the clogging material with it. I've also run the tube down the main drain to get it to clean out the overfill. You can scoop up the clog with paper towel and dispose of it. It might also help to use a flexible drain brush - run the drain brush up/down the pipes a few times and then give them another dose of foam. This set https://www.amazon.com/Bozenu-Flexible-Double-Cleaning-Cleaner/dp/B0BG27L9VM/ref=sr_1_7?sr=8-7 is close to what I use. The foam seems to help the sink and tub drain faster, and it helps remove the nasty odor that grows in the drain. The smell is a little strong if you give the sink say, 3 shots of foam, so you'll want to ventilate the space for a while. Using the foam and brushes is pretty much the only way I've found to really get rid of that funky smell (Drano, bleach, vinegar/baking soda, boiling water don't do as well for as long).

Seems to work ok, but I'm doubting the bacterial components are actually working given the alcohol and other ingredients required for a spray foam applicator. I just didn't get the clog removal I hoped for. However, functioning bacteria or not, it's REALLY good for getting the smells out of bathroom sinks. You can spra the foam down the overflow drain and it gets rid of the funk. I'm also going to try this on the humidifier and HVAC condensation drains.

This product is the best. I very rarely write reviews and only do if I am willing to give a product 5 stars. We just recently moved into our home in December and my wife kept telling me there was a bad smell coming from the bathroom sink. I myself did not notice it. I bought this product and was delivered the next morning. When I got home from work I sprayed it first down the drain and also did the overflow. All this black stuff came out and now I know what she was smelling. Let it sit and wipe all that crap out of the sink. I then repeated the process and I cannot believe how much gunk was in the sink. The sink is only 7 years old. This is a must have product for not only clearing drains but for deodorizing as well, just ordered 2 more to have on hand. I only wish I had taken pictures to show the results, but I am telling you this works

We had a musty, moldy smells coming out of the shower drain and out of the sink drains. We've used vinegar, and I've used a pipe snake to clean it. Both were effective. Then I purchased this product thinking that I just wanted something to keep the smells from coming back, and to my surprise this product is terrific. The foaming action breaks up mildew/mold, and it rinses away easily. When you try to use it to drain water, the first time it may drain slowly but that's because the foam is so thick. It does break down, and it's a wonderful value for the cost. We plan to add this to our regular bathroom cleaning, and our bathrooms now smell fresh!

If strong fragrances cause you headaches, DON’T buy this product!!! Despite the fact that this product is described as “unscented“ several times in the product description, it is definitely not!! When I opened the box containing this product and 4 other items, I was overwhelmed with a SUPER STRONG cheap, RANCID perfume fragrance!! Immediately I checked the clear plastic bag that the two cans were in, to see if any of the product had leaked out during shipping, but I saw no evidence of leakage. So just to be sure that the smell was coming from this product, I separately smelled each item contained in the box, and the item that smelled the strongest was this product. That means that the smell of this product was so strong, that the other items in the box had absorbed some of the nasty fragrance. It also means that if the smell of this product is THAT strong when it is contained in a metal can that has NOT leaked, how much stronger the smell of the product must be when it is squirted out of the can into the drain!!!! I could tell that this fragrance was so strong that it would likely fill the house for many days and cause me extreme migraine headaches!! If you battle with migraine headaches like I do and strong smells are a trigger for some of your migraines, DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!! As soon as I realized that the nasty fragrance was coming from THIS item, I put it out in the garage overnight. The label on the can clearly lists “fragrance“ as one of its ingredients. I am not giving the product a 1 star rating because I never got to use it to see how well it would work. But I cannot give it a higher rating than 3 stars because of the horribly super strong nasty fragrance that kept me from being able to use this product. My kitchen sink drain is NOT clogged, but it has developed a strong moldy/mildew smell that I have not been able to get rid of, despite using baking soda & vinegar twice overnight, then borax twice overnight, then 32 ounces of hydrogen peroxide overnight. I was really hoping to be able to use this product to eradicate that moldy smell, but I figured it would be horrendously foolish to use this product with a super strong nasty rancid cheap perfume smell that will stink up my entire house for many days to get rid of a moldy smell, because I would be substituting one migraine-causing problem for another. Until I can find something to eradicate the moldy smell in my kitchen drain, I have been able to contain the moldy smell by covering the drain with a small plastic bowl when the drain is not in use. This has worked GREAT & kept the moldy smell from filling my kitchen and house. But for those of you that are thinking of trying this drain foam and then just covering the drain with a bowl while the foam works, I must warn you that the short amount of time that the foam will be able to off-gas it’s super strong nasty fragrance while you are squirting it into the drain and it is overflowing from the drain into the sink which you will not be able to rinse down for at least an hour, that is long enough for this super strong nasty smell to fill your entire house! I don’t recommend trying that! And for those of you that are going to try it anyway, I strongly urge you to wear at least 2 pair of disposable Hospital gloves that you can throw away outside, because you will very likely get the drain foam on your hands, & you certainly don’t want that nasty fragrance absorbing into your skin and then having to smell it for many days on your hands. Also, for those of you needing to use the product with your kitchen sink drain, the hose included with the product looks too big to fit through the small openings in the non-removable metal grate in most kitchen sink drains. But if you take the hose that comes with the product to a hardware store and tell them that you need a hose small enough to insert into the end of the larger hose, but small enough to squeeze through the holes in your kitchen sink drain, that might enable you to use the product for a kitchen sink drain.

Works great

I have a bar sink that mostly gets hands & a few dishes washed in it. There was a good bit of gunk built up in the drain pipe. So I tried this product… filled the drain with the foam& waited. Nothing. So I ran hot water for a bit to soften the gunk… foamed it up, waited, filled the drain with foam a couple more times. Nothing. So I used a probe to scrape the pipe leaving some residue. I sprayed the foam in again and kept adding foam several times for a couple hours. It wouldn’t even clean the residue off the pipe! Don’t waist your time or money!

Great stuff. I had drain fly issue. Used this stuff once and flies no more. Easy to use. Doesn’t have much smell.

I decided to use Digest Plus to tackle a persistent bad smell in my bathroom. Over the course of ten hours, I applied the foam four times to two sink drains, their overflows, and the shower drain, without rinsing between applications. Nearly an entire can was required for all three drains, though I initially expected to use even more. After a thorough rinse, the unpleasant odor was completely gone.
