Use ORPHEUS to Clear & Prevent Blockages in Washrooms & Kitchens
For all types of blockages apart from urinals - for urinal blockages visit our Unblocking Urinals page.
Blocked and slow-running drains are a persistent problem in commercial buildings. Over time, grease, soap residue, hair, food waste and organic matter build up inside pipework, restricting flow and causing unpleasant odours.
ORPHEUS is designed to clear existing blockages and help prevent new ones forming in everyday drainage systems, keeping sinks, basins, toilets, showers and general drains flowing freely.
The Problem ORPHEUS Solves
In many non-urinal drainage systems, blockages develop gradually due to:
- Grease and fat build-up
- Soap and detergent residues
- Hair and organic waste
- General debris collecting inside pipes
These issues commonly lead to:
- Slow drainage
- Standing water
- Bad smells
- Increased call-outs and disruption
ORPHEUS targets this type of build-up directly, helping restore flow and reduce ongoing drainage problems.
Where ORPHEUS is Used
ORPHEUS is suitable for:
- Sinks and wash basins
- Toilets (non-urinal pipework)
- Showers and floor drains
- Kitchen and utility drains
- General wastewater systems
It is widely used in schools, offices, hospitality venues, leisure facilities and public buildings, where reliable drainage is essential.
Clears Blockages and Helps Prevent Future Problems
ORPHEUS works by breaking down organic matter and grease that cling to the inside of pipes. Used as required, or as part of a planned maintenance routine, it helps:
- Clear partial or developing blockages
- Improve drainage flow
- Reduce odours
- Lower the risk of emergency plumbing work
Different drainage problems require different chemical approaches. To understand the difference between acid and alkaline drain cleaners, and when each should be used, read our guide to acid vs alkaline drain cleaners.

Important: Not for Urinals
- ORPHEUS is designed for general drainage systems only.
- Urinal blockages are caused by uric scale, which requires a specialist urinal treatment. ORPHEUS should not be used in urinals.
