URIZAP is a powder-based, microbial solution that digests uric acid, removing the cause of urinal blockages and odours. This product is available in a 1kg pouch, which contains 40 doses.
URIZAP is used in any type of urinal: waterless urinals, flushing urinals and troughs. It breaks down uric acid, therefore, removing the issues of blockages and odours. Regular use of URIZAP maintains a free-flowing, odourless urinal and prevents the recurrence of issues.
Each scoop of URIZAP contains billions of beneficial bacteria that naturally break down uric acid forming in the pipework.
Uric acid is contained in urine and reacts with other minerals in water (e.g., limescale, struvite) and proteins to form uric scale deposits. By digesting uric acid, the deposits of uric scale that cause blockages and odour are eliminated.
Each 1kg pouch contains 40 scoops of product. For the first four weeks (shock phase), each urinal needs to be double-dosed, twice a week to allow the bacteria to colonise the pipes and get to work. After that, you move onto a maintenance phase which requires one scoop per urinal, per week. One pouch is sufficient to service 2 urinals for six weeks.
URIZAP is simple to administer, all you do is pour one scoop, followed by some cold water down the drain to wake up the bacteria and allow them to get to work. Check out this video that shows you how to use URIZAP.
URIZAP can only be used in urinals, but we have a range of products to deal with problems in toilets.
Avoid pouring any chemicals into urinals that are being treated with URIZAP. The surfaces of the urinals can be cleaned with any washroom product, but we suggest bio-based and eco-friendly products that do not contain biocides or hazardous chemicals for aquatic life. The best compatibility is to use URIZAP alongside SCALEZAP 360 Foam to remove stains and limescale impacting urinal surfaces.
It depends on your blockage, but most customers notice a drastic decrease in smell within two weeks and a significant decrease in the build-up by week four. By six weeks blockages are virtually gone and regular use of URIZAP ensures it remains this way.
SLUDGEZAP is a powder-based, microbial solution that digests organic build-up in pipework, removing the cause of blockages and odours. This product is available in a 1kg pouch.
You can use SLUDGEZAP in toilets, bathroom sinks, kitchen sinks, showers, soil stacks, baths, sluices, and associated pipework.
SLUDGEZAP is simple to administer, all you do is pour one scoop, followed by some cold water down the drain to wake up the bacteria and allow them to get to work. Check out this video that shows you how to use SLUDGEZAP.
The billions of bacteria that are in each scoop are carefully formulated to remove organic build-up (e.g., grease, fats, starches, vegetable/fruit waste, human waste) causing blockages and foul odours.
Unfortunately, it does not. However, DRAINZAP does.
Do not pour any sanitising or antibacterial products, or their residues used in kitchen cleaning protocols down the sink as it will kill the bacteria. Sanitisation can be done on the surfaces of the kitchens. For the ultimate kitchen powerhouse, pair SLUDGEZAP with FOGZAP to eliminate FOGs in grease traps and kitchen sinks, and stop them from re-congealing downstream.
Each 1kg pouch contains 40 scoops of product. For the first four weeks (shock phase), each asset needs to be double-dosed, twice a week to allow the bacteria to colonise the pipes and get to work. After that, you move onto a maintenance phase which requires one scoop per asset, per week. One pouch is sufficient to service 2 assets for six weeks.
Yes, please contact our specialists to discuss the dosing regime.
It depends on your blockage, but most customers notice a drastic decrease in smell within two weeks and a significant shift in the build-up by week four. By eight weeks blockages are virtually gone and regular use of SLUDGEZAP ensures it remains this way.
You don’t have to, but it does help increase the efficacy of the product. The tundish is the best spot to dose when adding SLUDGEZAP to your soil stack. Add a scoop with a small amount of water to help maximise the colonisation of bacteria in your pipework.
FOGZAP is a powder-based, microbial solution that digests fats, oil and greases (FOGs) in kitchen waste systems, including grease traps, grease pits and wet wells. This product is available in 250g soluble sachets.
FOGZAP can be used in grease traps, grease pits, wet wells, lift and pump stations and wastewater treatment plants.
FOGZAP contains beneficial bacteria that digest FOGs, safely removing the build-up of Fats, Oils and Grease (FOGs) in grease traps and pits to reduce the build-up of FOGs, reducing the frequency of tank replacement.
There are numerous benefits to using FOGZAP. These include reducing CO2 , reducing the frequency of tank replacement, enhancing safety in removing FOGS and maintaining infrastructure integrity.
For the ultimate kitchen powerhouse, pair FOGZAP with SLUDGEZAP to eliminate organic build-up and FOGs in kitchen sinks, and stop them from re-congealing downstream.
Avoid sanitisation, biocidal, and antimicrobial substances. It is important to dilute or minimise the amount of detergent, surfactant and soap in the systems as they will counteract the activity of bacteria. Do not use inorganic acid, caustic soda, bleach, and any other harsh chemicals. Please contact customer support if needed.
You may not be using enough product or your asset might not be the correct size for your needs. Please contact us to speak to one of our experts.
Depending on the size of the asset, and adherence to the dosing regime, it takes about eight weeks to see a decrease in FOGs. By week 14, you will see a significant decrease in FOG layers.
It depends on the size and volume of your asset, but we usually recommend one 250g sachet per week.

SCALEZAP 360° Foam is a heavy-duty, versatile, foaming descaler that removes limescale and mineral buildup from toilets, taps and all washroom surfaces.
SCALEZAP 360° Foam can be used in showers, sinks, baths, toilets, pipework, fixtures and fittings.
SCALEZAP 360° Foam should not be used on natural stone surface. If in doubt test on a small area before full application.
SCALEZAP 360° Foam contains non-corrosive, organic, bio-based descaling agents that rapidly dissolve limescale and other mineral salts. When used at the maximum dosage of 3 scoops per bottle, SCALEZAP 360° Foam contains a much higher concentration of these selective descaling agents compared to other descaler products. This allows SCALEZAP 360° Foam to outperform standard products in demanding limescale removal testing – often by 500% or more.
The dosage mix depends on the level of limescale buildup:
The mild organic acids at the core of SCALEZAP 360° Foam have no corrosive effect on most materials. Plastics, ceramics, glass, stainless steel, chrome, brass, copper are unaffected, even in prolonged contact. Acid-sensitive materials, such as natural stone may be damaged by any low-pH product. Marble is a microcrystalline form of calcium carbonate – the same chemical compound as limestone and limescale itself, so contact with marble must be avoided.
The dosage depends on the level of limescale buildup:
Simply transfer you chosen number of scoops to the bottle. Carefully add water to the shoulder of the bottle, avoiding foaming. Shake for 30 seconds, once fully dissolved the product is ready to use. Apply to the affected area and leave in place to dissolve limescale, watermarks and stains before rinsing.
The entire Thrive cleaning range is designed for maximum compatibility. Thrive Toilet Cleaner is an excellent companion to SCALEZAP 360° Foam for specialist toilet cleaning and descaling. For sensitive surfaces, Thrive Multi-Surface Cleaner is an excellent complimentary product and pH-neutral.
Light scale and water marks are dissolved within moments of application. With application of SCALEZAP 360° Foam thick scale is broken down rapidly, as the descaling agents eat their way through the layers of mineralised deposits. We recommend reapplying after 15 minutes for the most severe limescale.
SCALEZAP 360° Foam has a very low toxicity and presents low chemical hazard. If ingested, do not induce vomiting. Rinse the mouth thoroughly and seek medical advice immediately. Show the product label to the healthcare provider.
Rinse your eyes immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.
Store the SCALEZAP 360° Foam in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children and pets. Keep the pouch or tub tightly closed when not in use.
Yes! SCALEZAP 360° Foam is formulated with biodegradable, bio-based ingredients that are safe for the environment while being tough on limescale. The bottle and trigger are designed for maximum reusability, with absolute minimum of packaging.
Get in touch with us and we can connect you to a distributor who will be able to provide pricing.

DRAINZAP is a revolutionary formula that cuts through hair and organic waste as effectively as traditional products, without caustic chemicals, making it safe for drains and the environment. This product is available in a 1kg pouch, which contains 40 doses.
DRAINZAP can be used in showers, kitchen and bathroom sinks, baths and all other drain points. It dissolves hair and slime, removing the issues of blockages and odours. Regular use of DRAINZAP maintains free-flowing, odourless drains and prevents the recurrence of issues.
Other drain cleaners such as caustic soda, bleach and sulfuric acid are extremely damaging to surfaces. DRAINZAP has been tested extensively for materials compatibility. DRAINZAP has no corrosive effect on plastics (HDPE, PVC, silicone, resin), stainless steel, ceramics and chromed fittings. Uncoated brass and copper-based alloys should have a small area tested first, as the layer of dark surface oxide may be removed, leaving a bright metal surface. The oxide layer typically regenerates quickly without damage to the underlying metal.
Each 1kg pouch contains 40 scoops of product. For most severely impacted drains, daily application for 7 days will completely remediate the problem, leaving the plumbing clear and water flow improved. Each 1kg pouch will therefore restore 5 – 6 drains, although many drains will require less treatment than this.
DRAINZAP is simple to administer, all you do is run warm water through the drain for 10 seconds, followed by one scoop of DRAINZAP into the drain. Leave this for at least an hour or for the best results overnight.
Avoid combining any other products or chemicals with DRAINZAP directly. After a 7-day drain remediation period with DRAINZAP, this is the ideal time to begin routine weekly or daily treatment with SLUDGEZAP.
Ideally, DRAINZAP should be allowed to remain in contact with the slime and hair overnight, but 1 hour is a minimum for efficacy. Most heavily contaminated drains will be completely restored within 7 days of daily dosing with DRAINZAP. Hair may be removed after a single treatment.
If ingested, do not induce vomiting. Rinse the mouth thoroughly and seek medical advice immediately. Show the product label to the healthcare provider.
Rinse your eyes immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.
Store the DRAINZAP in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children and pets. Keep the pouch tightly closed when not in use.
All components of DRAINZAP are readily biodegradable and the product carries no environmental hazard classification.
Get in touch with us and we can connect you to a distributor who will be able to provide pricing.

One pouch contains enough for multiple refills (typically around 120+ depending on scoop size), making it cost-effective and sustainable.
Keep it in a cool, dry place, tightly sealed. Avoid exposure to moisture or humidity to maintain product effectiveness.
While our Multi-Purpose Cleaner has a long shelf life, we recommend using it within 12–18 months of opening to ensure optimal performance.
Yes. Thrive offers refill pouches that reduce waste and cost — available through our distribution network.
Unlike chemical-based cleaners, Thrive’s Multi-Purpose Cleaner uses probiotics that keep working long after application, providing a natural, deep clean without harsh residues.
URIZAP Shock is a fast-acting, eco-friendly treatment designed to clear blockages, limescale, and odours from urinals within one week, eliminating the need for rodding or harsh chemicals. It is a high-impact alternative to the traditional 6-week URIZAP shock phase, ideal for restoring flow and hygiene before transitioning to URIZAP for your long-term maintenance solution.
Noticeable odour reduction can occur within 2 to 3 days. Long-term benefits, such as clearer pipes and reduced uric scale are typically achieved between 1-2 weeks of consistent use.
Basic cleaning PPE such as disposable gloves to minimise contact, mask (if inhalation is likely), and goggles (if splashing likely).
Refer to the product’s Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed information on required personal protective equipment (PPE) during application. Always follow the recommended safety guidelines provided.
Store in a dry, cool place with the pouch tightly sealed to avoid moisture affecting the powder. Keep away from strong chemicals and cleaning agents.
To maintain the potency of URIZAP Shock it should be stored in a dry, cool place (5c – 30c) and out of direct sunlight. The pouch should be tightly sealed to avoid moisture affecting the powder.
Yes, URIZAP Shock is a powerful treatment designed to remove uric scale and limescale buildup from urinal pipework. However, if the blockage is caused by something other than these buildups—such as foreign objects or other materials—it will need to be cleared manually before applying the product.
No. Avoid using strong chemical cleaners, bleach, or disinfectants together with URIZAP Shock. For surface cleaning, we recommend using bio-based, eco-friendly products that do not contain biocides or chemicals hazardous to aquatic life. For best results, use URIZAP Shock alongside SCALEZAP 360 Foam, which effectively removes stains and limescale from urinal surfaces.
URIZAP Shock should be dosed daily for 1–2 weeks, depending on the level of uric scale buildup and whether the urinal is in a high-traffic area. Always follow the product usage guidelines for best results.
No, the time of day doesn’t matter. However, URIZAP Shock requires at least 1 hour of contact time to work effectively. For best results, apply during off-peak hours to maximise contact time.
Sprinkle one scoop directly into each urinal drain daily, followed by approximately half a cup (150 ml) of warm water. Leave the solution in place for at least one hour—preferably overnight—for optimal results.
URIZAP Shock is a sustainable, non-hazardous maintenance product. However, it is still a dry microbial powder, so:
URIZAP Shock can be used in all types of urinals, including waterless urinals, flushing urinals and troughs. It breaks down uric acid and limescale, helping to eliminate blockages and odours within 1 – 2 weeks.
No, URIZAP Shock has only been designed for use in urinals. To combat stubborn limescale below the toilet waterline try SCALEZAP, or for an effective daily toilet cleaner, try the Thrive Toilet Cleaner.
