I saw the report in the paper about the drain cleaner causing these awful injuries after it exploded. I was shocked to see that it was from a ‘green’ product.

I’d never heard of the brand, and have tried to research what was in the product, but funnily enough they’ve removed it from their website!

There are claims that the drain cleaner must have been mixed with other chemicals alreading in the drain. It just shows what great care is needed when using and mixing cleaning chemicals.

It’s the sort of thing that is taught on the NVQ course that our lead cleaners do, and pass on. Even though we only ever use non toxic cleaning products, you never know what has been used before you.
