Green Gobbler, an emerging brand based in Copiague, New York, is one of the few manufacturers with duct dredging as its core business, offering a full line of industrial surface cleaners, bathroom deodorants and duct unclogging agents, with the third largest market share in North America.
In the traditional chemical pipe dredging agent market, Drano and Liquid-Plumr occupy more than 80% of the market share in the United States, and it is difficult for other brands to shake their dominance. Green Gobbler has become the hottest pipe dredging brand in the North American market by developing alternatives to corrosive strong acid and alkali products, ranking first in sales on Amazon in the United States.
Green Gobbler is a green and environmentally friendly product, with only two products, Dissolve and Ultimate Main Line Drain Opener, the best-selling of which is Dissolve, which costs $12 and has received 5-star reviews from Bestreviews and The Spruce.
Dissolve uses enzyme preparations to replace the highly corrosive sodium hydroxide and concentrated sulfuric acid, safety and environmental protection is its biggest feature, its principle is to use enzymes to decompose organic waste into carbon dioxide and water to achieve the dredging effect, because the formula does not contain strong acids and alkalis, so it will not cause damage to inorganic materials (metal pipes) or organic materials (plastic pipes), and clean and odorless, easy to degrade. In addition, the Dissolve bottle has a dual-chamber design, so each serving can be used twice, and only one full liquid chamber needs to be poured into the sink at a time, which is more convenient.
However, in terms of performance, enzymes are still inferior to traditional chemical preparations (such as sodium hydroxide), and Bestreviews have shown that Dissolve's ability to dissolve oil and hair is comparable to that of Drano Max Gel, but it is extremely slow, may take an entire night to take effect, and has no effect on pipes that have been completely blocked.
The other Ultimate Main Line Drain Opener is designed for the dredging of main sewer pipes, with a capacity of 2 times that of Dissolve, which can be used 4 times, and the price is about 20 dollars.
Although the performance of Green Gobbler's products is not as effective as the performance of the Drano and Liquid-Plumr at the moment, it also represents an industry development trend that may be as effective as traditional products in the future, so it is also worth paying attention to.
