Hello everyone!
I had two major issues: the water in my bathroom sink wouldn't drain properly and there was a weird smell coming from the kitchen sink.
I've tried various drain cleaners in the past, but this time I decided to give Tiret Turbo a shot - it's a popular new product I'd never tried before.
The sticker claiming it's the number one brand didn't leave me with much hope.
I bought it at a five-and-dime store on sale for 299 rubles, which is roughly 400 rubles less than the full price.
The 500ml bottle is quite large, but it only lasts for two cleanings or two sinks.
On the back, there's essential safety information. It's crucial to read it! The product is thermolytic, has a strong chlorine smell, and you should handle it with gloves. I did it without gloves, but I was careful. You can't breathe in these fumes and it's better to wear a mask. I took a few deep breaths and started feeling dizzy... opened the windows to ventilate the room. My eyes even started burning.
The cap is designed to be opened with a press, but even kids can figure out smartphone cases, let alone bottle caps. You should keep the product out of reach of children.
As for the consistency, the product is liquid but slightly thick, not like water. Be sure to check if it's leaked anywhere - I managed to spill some.
I was surprised to find that the cleaning solution didn't come with a measuring cup or a lid, so I used my own powder container.xa0
The instructions on the side were easy to follow. It recommended using a minimum of 200ml, and the waiting time ranged from 2 to 40 minutes.xa0

Here's what I did:
250ml in the kitchen sink, as I wanted to make sure it was enough to clear the pipes, which I knew were clogged with food debrisaround 150-200ml in the bathroom sink, as I thought the pipes there should be relatively clean, since I only use it for washing my hands and brushing my teeth, but the water flow was still poorI poured the remaining liquid into the bathtub, and it was a small amount

When I poured the solution into the bathroom sink and bathtub, a strange smell appeared after about 10 minutes – I'm not sure how to describe it... I quickly rinsed the area with hot water under high pressure.

The water didn't flow better, and I think I should have left it for longer, but 10 minutes isn't a long time for a moderate clog, right? The smell that appeared really bothered me. The water did flow, but it seemed to be collecting, and then it would suddenly flow freely.

Oh well, I was more concerned about the kitchen pipes...

The water flowed poorly a couple of times, but overall, it worked well. What really bothered me, though, was the smell that had been building up over the past couple of months. For some people, the smell might be normal, but I just can't stand it, and it's become really unpleasant, even noticeable in the cabinet where the pipes are located.

I've got to admit, I'm a bit messy when it comes to washing dishes, especially if my husband's been using the sink. I try to get rid of any stuck-on food as soon as I can.

One time, the faucet came loose and I saw just how much gunk had built up inside. I ended up scrubbing it all out by hand. Now I'm a bit hesitant to take it apart, so I thought I'd give N.1 a try.

I used 250ml of the gel and left it for 20 minutes. Then I turned on the hot water at full pressure.

The water flowed out okay, but I was worried about the smell coming from the drain. It's been a day now, and it seems like the smell has decreased a bit, but it's still there. Unfortunately, I had to take everything apart and clean it by hand.

❌ But now, I've gone and made things worse 😰. Be super careful with this stuff! If you've got a colored metal sink or faucet, don't use it, or be super precise when applying it.xa0
Here's what my sink looked like 20 minutes before I applied the gel:

It's been a couple of years since I last cleaned it, but it still looked okay.

I applied the gel carefully, but I didn't notice any problems at first.

And here's what my sink looked like after 20 minutes... there's a stain and it looks all worn out. I guess some of the water came out with the gel when I was rinsing it off. It's just a mess.xa0
I'm really disappointed. The water in my kitchen sink still smells awful, and the smell in my bathroom sink hasn't gone away. But at least it seems like it's decreased a bit. The worst part is that my sink is now all scratched up. I'm not sure what happened to it, but it looks like it's been through a war.xa0
My experience with this product has been a total disaster, unfortunately. I was really hoping for a good result.
Can't recommend it.
I've gotta say, the AirPods Pro have been a game-changer for my daily commutes. The sound quality is top-notch, and the noise-cancellation feature is a total lifesaver when I'm on a crowded bus or train. I've been using them for a week now, and I'm still blown away by the value for money - these earbuds are seriously worth every penny!
One thing that's really impressed me is how easy they are to use. I mean, I'm not exactly tech-savvy, but even I was able to figure out how to pair them with my phone in no time. And the customer support has been amazing - I had a question about the return policy, and they got back to me within the hour.
Of course, no review would be complete without talking about the shipping. I ordered these on a Friday, and they arrived at my doorstep on the following Tuesday - that's some seriously speedy service if you ask me!
I've been really impressed with the overall build quality of the AirPods Pro, too. They feel solid and well-made, and I've had no issues with them so far.
I'd highly recommend them to anyone in the market for a new pair of wireless earbuds.
