I used regular antifreeze to winterize drains in rental house; should I have used RV antifreeze?

Whats the difference between regular and RV antifreeze? Will regular antifreeze damage the drains; should I do this over before it is too late?

1. Won't hurt the pipes, but it is poisonous.

2. They make special antifreeze to put in your drains, its especially for pipes. I hope you are not talking about auto antifreeze that you just put in your pipes......

3. RV would be your best bet ....

4. this stuff can contaminate a lot of water , please try to get as much of the antifreeze with a wet/dry vac as you can , if you have a septic tank it will kill it. the drains should be ok

5. its not environment friendly but your ok next time use the safe stuff
