Pvc Pipe Cleaned
Would RecommendThis Pipe Cleaner Works Real Good On All Pvc Pipe ,I Would Recommend This Cleaner 100% Yes
Easy to apply
Would RecommendNo problems opening the can, easy to apply all around the pipe.
Did the job
Would RecommendNeeded to repair broken pipes, worked as designed.
It removed almost everything.
Would RecommendIt did remove a great deal of stain and print. However if you need perfect 100 percent removal like I did use sand paper. There is a shadow of the black print on white pvc. The red stain ink from Charlotte pipe immediately runs and restains a different area that doesn't come out entirely without sand paper. Tried using a rag instead of the applicator in the can but it just couldn't do the job. Seemed very ineffective to remove the red ink at all.
Clean before glueing
Would RecommendPrep your PVC by cleaning it before primer and glue for a better, stronger bond !!
Only way to go
Would RecommendIf you are working with PVC, don't just jump to the "purple" stuff.... use this cleaner first then the appropriate glue
Works as expected
Would RecommendCleans pipes well. Does have quite an odor to it, however.
Helpful on our above ground pool surface
Would RecommendWe needed to clean around our filter on inside of pool prior to patching and this did a good job
