Instant Power products we rated highly
Instant Power Hair and Grease Drain Cleaner (1 L, 2-Pack)
Formulated to melt grease through a heat reaction, which is exactly the clog a kitchen sink actually gets: congealed fat, not hair. It's odorless, so it doesn't fill the kitchen with a bleach smell while it works, and a 4.5-star average across more than 8,000 reviews backs up the grease-cutting claim. The solvent-based formula is also non-caustic, making it gentler on pipes than a lye-based product.
