Zep Liquid Heat Max Clog Remover Gel is a powerful drain opener engineered to dissolve the toughest clogs quickly and safely for all types of drains. Designed with a proprietary thick‑gel formula, Liquid Heat Max clings to debris, penetrates standing water, and cuts through hair, grease, and buildup — the most common causes of household and commercial drain blockages. The result is industry‑leading drain cleaning power that restores flow in minutes, no plumber required.

“Clogged drains slow down households and businesses alike, and most consumers don’t have the time or budget to wait for a professional,” said Lauren Houser, Zep Vice President of Marketing. “With Liquid Heat Max, we leveraged our 85‑year heritage of professional‑grade chemistry to create the most powerful clog remover on the retail shelf. The thick gel goes straight to the obstruction, dissolving hair, grease, and soap scum even in standing water. It’s tough on clogs but gentle on all pipes and septic systems, giving users confidence that they can fix the problem themselves in minutes.”

Engineered for Maximum Effectiveness

• Ultimate Drain Power: Liquid Heat Max is the industry’s strongest drain opener, outperforming other brands and clearing most clogs in 5–10 minutes.
• Unmatched Performance on Hair: Specially designed to dissolve hair clogs — the No. 1 cause of blockages — while also breaking down grease and soap buildup.
• Maximum Contact: The thick gel clings to pipe walls and obstructions, ensuring deep, targeted clog removal even in standing water.
• Prevents Frequent Clogs: By attacking the root causes of slow drains, the formula reduces the need for repeat treatments, saving time and maintenance costs for homeowners and facility managers.
• Safe and Versatile: Formulated for use on all types of pipes and septic systems, Liquid Heat Max is ideal for bathroom sinks, tubs, showers, and kitchen drains in homes and commercial facilities.
• Available Sizes: 32-oz, 64-oz, and 128-oz bottles offer value and convenience for households or facilities with varying maintenance needs.

Liquid Heat Max Clog Remover Gel is available now at major retailers, including Lowe’s, Walmart, Menards, Amazon, True Value, and Ace. Customers can also purchase directly from Zep.com.

Liquid Heat Max is the latest entry in Zep’s growing portfolio of professional‑grade cleaning solutions for both homeowners and facilities. Earlier this year, Zep introduced Cherry Bomb Auto+ Degreaser & Cleaner, a ready-to-use degreaser with a bold cherry scent that cuts through oil, grease, grime, and dirt on various surfaces. With Cherry Bomb’s success in automotive and workshop applications and its availability at Walmart stores and online at Zep.com, the launch of Liquid Heat Max underscores Zep’s commitment to delivering innovative cleaning products across categories.
