Our unique COMPATIBILITY formulation prevents biofilms from Clinell Drain Cleaner has been formulated with compatibility in mind. Unlike chlorine based cleaners, regrowing for at least four days. it can be used regularly, without the worry of causing damage to the sink or drainage system.

Biofilms adhere to the surface of the drain. Biofilms multiply and build up a protective biofilm, rendering traditional cleaners ineffective. Cutting-edge research Working in collaboration with researchers at Cardiff University in the UK, we are pioneering new and innovative ways to tackle biofilms in the healthcare environment2. Using their unique model, they were able to replicate the conditions within a contaminated drain more accurately than ever before.

Their method enables them to test for cleaning efficacy right the way through the drainage trap. When they tested Sodium Hypochlorite, commonly used in most drain cleaners, (NaOCl) 1,000ppm, they found it was only effective in the front part of the drain – leaving the biofilm largely intact and allow it to re-establish quickly.
