New Drano® Snake Plus Unclogs Your Day

RACINE, Wis., July 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- SC Johnson is proud to introduce Drano® Snake Plus – a brand new product, from the drain experts you trust, that resolves the toughest clogs the first time, guaranteed or it's free(1). We've all been there before: the sink or tub is backed up and suddenly, so is the entire day. No matter what, the drain will not unclog. It's a frustrating experience that can end up costing more than $100(2). But now the experience doesn't have to be so discouraging.

Drano® Snake Plus combines a flexible, easy-to-use 18-inch tool with a powerful pro concentrate gel, the thickest and most powerful gel from Drano® that clings directly to the clog, quickly dissolving it. The advanced nature of the tool and gel combo will help families fix the clogged drain the first time, to avoid wasting their day and money on repeated trips to the store and visits from the plumber.

"My family is just like any other family – we struggle to keep our drains and lives clog free," says Kelly M. Semrau, Senior Vice President – Global Corporate Affairs, Communication and Sustainability for SC Johnson. "That's why I'm excited about new Drano® Snake Plus because now we can rest assured there's a quick and easy way to fix at least one bump in the day right away."

More Solutions for Parents

To help families discover other great ways to free up their days, Drano® is partnering with Melinda and Rob Babiak(3) of the online network LookWhatMomFound.com. As trusted sources for information on family life, Melinda and Rob have developed quick and easy tips to make their days more manageable while raising three children.

"Through trial and error, Rob and I have learned what works best for us so we can stay on top of the kids' schedules, get dinner ready and of course keep our sanity," says Melinda. "With a few easy solutions, we're able to make the most of our day and spend more time together as a family."

Here are some tips from the Babiaks on avoiding clogs in your day:

• Pre-Plan Meals – A half hour spent writing down dinner for the week and creating shopping lists can save time and money. Take it a step further and plan lunches utilizing leftovers for options more nutritious than fast food.
• Create a Family Calendar – Note field trips, concerts, parties, appointments and other important dates for the whole family on a calendar so there's a quick visual of each day's activities.  
• Keep Tools Close at Hand – Keep helpful items like new Drano® Snake Plus handy. Drano® Snake Plus is guaranteed to clear the toughest clogged drains the first time, helping you avoid unexpected delays.
• Stick to Lists – Start each day fresh. A new daily list will ensure you accomplish all your goals without forgetting anything.
• Turn Errands Into Fieldtrips – Kids like spending time with their parents, even if it's just a quick errand. When possible, bring them along for everyday errands to squeeze in some quality time.
