my kitchen sink is blocked so I put some Mr Muscle drain unblocker down the drain however there was water that wouldn't drain and now the blockage hasn't been cleared so the drain pipe is full of the unblocking solution. How do I get rid of it? Will it damage the pipes?

Normally once someone uses any type of chemical to clear a line I add and extra $75 for the service call as many of the chemicals on the market are totally useless but highly dangerous to people who come into contact with them.
A Kitchen sink stoppage is usually caused by grease that adheres to the internal piping walls and acts like hardening of the arteries
To properly restore full flow the lines should be snaked to establish flow then water jetted (hydro jetting) to restore full flow
By the way keep as far away as possible from a franchise plumber /drainer as they have to give kick backs (franchise fees) which of course increases the cost to the consumer. Always ask to see the plumbers license and a certificate of insurance as the license protects the consumer not the license holder
