Need directions for how to unclog a bathroom sink with Dawn/hot water.
Hello Doreen, Even though we have an auger, most commonly we find that our bathroom sink drains need to be physically fished out. Either using an unbent hanger as a refashioned hook or plastic barbed tool from the dollar store to explore the drain obstruction.
Fishing out the blockage with that in -our experience— to partially involve hair seems to most readily alleviate stoppage in our faucets and shower drains.
Once your sink is unclogged, pour 1 cup baking soda and 1 cup white distilled vinegar down the drains, weekly. After 45 minutes pour a pan of boiling water down the drain to keep it open. Liquid hand soaps, hair, soft milled soaps, and kitchen grease contribute to drain blockages.
