One comment from the article suggested this

"...dust lots of bicarbonate of soda down the hole, sloosh it down near vinegar and listen to it fizzing its way down the tubes. Be titled with these cleaners, they're cheap. Leave overnight rather and then pour boiling/very hot wet down (depending on pipe material)."

Yes it will cut though grease but white vinegar and baking soda works better and faster. If there is greatly of grease coating the pipes, add almost 1/2 cup baking soda followed by 1 cup of heated vinegar and it will foam up and power right through it.
