Kitchen
Kitchen drain & trap
Fats from cooking and washing up are the classic case. Prevention helps keep the cross-section stable.
- Reduce deposits gradually
- Reduce odors
- Less gurgling and backup
Dose and interval should match usage and hotspots.

Fat in your household drain? A biological solution with lipasanF®
Say goodbye to clogs and smells — without harsh chemicals. lipasanF® breaks down fats microbially into easier-to-degrade components. Safe for common pipe materials, simple to use, and more sustainable for your home and the environment.
Quick overview
Preventive biological fat splitting instead of “drain cleaner” cycles:
- Gradually reduce deposits and new buildup
- Reduce odors (incl. H₂S) depending on the starting situation
- Predictable routine: dose in the evening, let it work overnight
Note: effect and speed depend on deposits, usage, temperature, and pipe layout.
Typical household hotspot
Fats cool down, stick to surfaces and form a film over time — especially in kitchens and shared lines.
- Practice
- proven routine
- Gentle
- no harsh chemicals
- Simple
- dose in the evening
- Predictable
- routine over emergencies
No “magic numbers” — we focus on a realistic routine and suitable dosing.
Why household drain fat is so persistent
Fats, oils and food residues cool down in the pipe, stick, and build a layer. With each use it grows — flow drops, gurgling starts, odors rise.
Causes
- Cooling: fat solidifies and sticks to pipe walls
- Biofilm + residues make deposits tougher
- Multi-unit effect: cumulative load in shared pipes
- Idle periods: fat can settle instead of moving on
Effects
- Clogs: cross-section narrows over time
- Odors: anaerobic processes increase smell
- Costs: cleaning/emergency service can get expensive
Chemical cleaners often act short-term, stress materials and the environment, and do not replace prevention.
Solution: microbial fat splitting — preventive & continuous
lipasanF® uses microorganisms and enzymes to break fat molecules into easier-to-degrade components. Instead of hard deposits, a substrate forms that continues to degrade biologically.
How it works in the pipe
Biology works along the line — especially during idle phases.
- Lipolysis starts after dosing
- Deposits loosen step by step
- Routine reduces new buildup
How to start at home
A simple procedure — no technician appointment.
- 1 Dilute (typically 1:10 to 1:15)
- 2 Pour in slowly in the evening
- 3 Let it work overnight
- 4 Adjust interval to your needs
Tip: avoid flushing with hot water immediately after dosing.
Why it makes sense
Prevention makes issues predictable — instead of “blocked drain” weekends.
- Fewer disruptions & stress
- Gentler than caustic products
- More sustainable for wastewater and waterways
Note: results depend on initial condition, temperature, pipe layout, and usage.
Typical household use cases
Three common scenarios — with a clear routine instead of guesswork.
Bathroom / utility
Shower, sink, washing machine
Soap residues, fats and biofilm can slow drains — a routine helps.
- More stable flow
- Fewer unpleasant odors
- Predictable instead of emergency
Dose and interval should match usage and hotspots.
Multi-unit
Apartment building & shared lines
Many kitchens = cumulative load. Prevention can reduce disruptions and complaints.
- Fewer emergency call-outs
- More predictable maintenance
- ESG-friendly approach (biology)
Dose and interval should match usage and hotspots.

How to use it — easy to start
A few steps and a clear routine: simple and practical.
Hotspot
Where to dose?
Typically the kitchen drain. For buildings: suitable hotspots in shared lines.
- Goal: relieve fat hotspots
- Pour slowly instead of dumping
- Multiple points if needed
Steps
4-step routine
Evening dosing — idle time matters.
- 1 Mix 1:10 to 1:15
- 2 Pour in slowly
- 3 Let it work overnight
- 4 Adjust interval (more frequent at first, then routine)
Tip: avoid hot flushing right after dosing.
Handling
Parameters & storage
Practical rules are enough.
- Store: +5 to +12 °C, dry
- Use: about +5 to +30 °C
- Suitable for common pipe materials

Frequently asked questions
Short and clear so you can start confidently.
Does lipasanF® work on existing deposits?
Yes. Deposits are reduced gradually. Speed depends on deposits and usage.
Is it safe for plastic and metal pipes?
Yes. Microbial fat splitting works without harsh caustic ingredients and is gentle on materials.
How fast will I notice results?
Often within days (odor/flow), clearer over weeks — depending on the starting condition.
How should I store lipasanF®?
Dry, at +5 to +12 °C. Typical use between +5 and +30 °C.
Is it suitable for apartment buildings / property managers?
Yes. Preventive dosing at suitable points in vertical/shared lines can help reduce disruptions.
