Kiwi Kleen Drain Cleaner - Godrej Sara Lee product
January 22nd, 2008
(1 votes, average: 3 out of 5)Washbasins and kitchen sinks which are used regularly tend to collect debris both organic and inorganic. This tends to collect in the exhaust pipe and blocks the regular flow of water. Further the organic debris tends to produce foul smell and also attract pests such as cockroaches. So how do we deal with this problem?
There is a product called “Kiwi Drainex”. You may have heard of this name. The old pack is shown below:

This product was marketed by “Sara Lee Household & Body Care” and is now part of the Godrej Sara Lee company - a joint venture between the Godrej Group and US-based Sara Lee Corp. After the brand take over, Godrej Sara Lee has renamed the product as “KIWI Kleen Drain Cleaner”. The new branded product is shown below:

- Clears blocked, clogged and choked drains effectively.
- Dissolves materials like hair, soap, oil and residual food particles.
- Fights cockroaches and germs.
- Has a pleasant fragrance too.

I have purchased your packet for Rs 14 and have two questions
1. What is the composition is it oxalic acid crystals ?
2. The instructions say it can be used for sinks, washbasins and bathtubs but not for toilets- why is this ???
What is the composition and why cant it be used for toilets
@ Gururaj
We do not know what the composition is. Perhaps the product label tells you all about it.
It cannot be used for toilets because it would interfere with the natural decomposition process of human waste. Further it can damage the tubes(probably).
@renu
it should be available in leading department stores/supermarkets. Did you manage to buy it already? If so please tell us where you bought it.
why is it that it cannot be used in toilets? because, they use even harder pipes than wash basins and sinks!
@Sathya,
As someone already pointed out, it’s because it would interfere with decomposition. It is for the same reason that you cannot pour soapy water down your toilet. If you are doing it, you should probably stop.
