Safety precautions and risks
Drain cleaner is a potent chemical product that requires careful handling to avoid potential harm. It should only be used while wearing protective gloves.
Direct contact with the skin or mucous membranes, such as the eyes or respiratory tract, can lead to irritation, burns and severe damage.
It is therefore crucial to keep the product out of reach of children and pets.
