Caustic Soda (Sodium Hydroxide) is the heavy-duty industrial stuff. It’s highly corrosive; it will burn skin, damage aluminum, and dissolve organic matter aggressively. Soda Crystals are much gentler. They are alkaline, but safe enough to handle (mostly) with bare hands. But are they actually up to the job,
For 90% of the slow-draining sinks and stinky plug holes in a standard home, They are cheap, environmentally friendly (phosphate-free), and they actually work with the physics of your plumbing rather than against it.
So how do they work? Soda crystals are a water softener and a degreaser rolled into one. When hot water hits them, they create an alkaline solution that breaks down fatty acids (grease) into soap.
