October is here, and with it comes a month to save our sewers and seas! Unblocktober is the world's first national awareness month aimed at improving the health of our drains, sewers, and waterways. The challenge is simple: keep fats, oils, and greases out of our drains. But here at Fillarup, we believe Unblocktober is a perfect time to take that mission one step further by making sure we're not sending harmful chemicals into our precious waterways and oceans either. Let's make this October about clear drains and clean water!
What is Unblocktober?
Unblocktober is a national, month-long campaign driven by the British public. It's designed to change our everyday habits to make a big difference for the environment. Since its launch in 2019, the movement has grown from over 4,500 pledges to more than 66,000 in 2022. This year, we need even more of us to get involved! By committing to small changes at home, we can collectively reverse the damage to our waterways and help protect the environment for future generations.
Why the Movement Matters
For decades, many of us have unknowingly sent millions of gallons of dangerous liquids and harmful products into our drainage systems. These chemicals and materials have caused untold damage to our rivers and seas, with the impacts already being felt right here, right now. As a society, we need to act decisively and quickly to change these habits and reverse the impact of our actions.
That's where Fillarup comes in. This Unblocktober, we can all make a simple, powerful switch. By choosing our eco-friendly products, you can keep your drains sparkling clean in a way that is kind to our water and those who call it home.
Fillarup has two big saver deals this Unblocktober, the Zero Effort Bundle and the All Natural Power Pack.
The Winning Combination: A Simple Recipe!
The best natural drain cleaner is a simple DIY blend:
-
Pour a half a cup of Bicarbonate of Soda down the drain.
-
Follow with a half a cup of Citric Acid.
-
Carefully pour a cup of boiling water down the drain to activate the fizzing reaction.
-
You'll hear it fizzing and bubbling away! Let it sit for about 15-30 minutes.

Flush with another kettle full of hot water to clear everything away.
This method is perfect for regular maintenance and for clearing up minor clogs without resorting to harsh, chemical-laden drain cleaners. It's a simple, effective, and planet-friendly solution! Do this twice a month to ensure you have happy, healthy drains.
