    I've found that the little sink snakes that you can buy for $2 at any home improvement store work best. You can remove the sink stopper and then put the little snake down, twist and pull up. This will last a lot longer than using anything that pours down the drain.

    Cover the over flow with wet paper towels. Pour about 1/3 box of baking soda down the drain. Then pour some vinegar down. Immediately cover the drain with a cloth and hold down. The pressure of the fizzing should push the clog thru. Follow with hot water. If that doesn't work the clog is further down the line and would need to be rodded from underneath by removing the P Trap.

  • you can use a snake to try to get whatever is blocking it and then pour dish detergent down and then some hot water. Let it sit a while and then use a plunger

  • Hi Danila - This is what we do and it works really well. Pour 1 TBSP of baking soda and then 1/2 cup vinegar slowly down the drain. Let it fizzle and pour a little more. Then follow up with boiling water. You will probably need to repeat 2-5 times. For the most stubborn drains, I use BioKleen which is less toxic than traditional drain cleaners. Hope this helps!

    for me the only thing that is always working is baking soda and vinegar solution. It creates that bubbling effect. You need to wait 20 min and run hot water

    The majority of bathroom sinks are clogged with hair and soap scum. Hair needs to be mechanically removed (unless you want to flush NAIR into the drain) and soap scum can be removed with a variety of chemicals.

  • Once you clear the clog, be sure to clean it out of hair regularly to prevent further problems.
