What is the best way to unclog bathroom plumbing?
I have a small bathroom. There is no basement or crawl space under it. The pipes constantly clog. Under the floor the pipes come to a 90-degree bend. What is the best and easiest way to unclog a bathroom sink or bathtub? I do not have much money.
Thanks in advance.

90° angle sounds problematic and unusual. If clogging caused by soft/liquid soaps or hair, change soap to French milled, or something harder. If you believe it's grease related, pour 1-2 cups baking soda down drains, along with 1-2 cups distilled white vinegar. After 30-45 min., pour medium sized saucepans of boiling water down drains. Pour carefully if sinks are porcelain, as boiling water could cause crazing. You may need to repeat this. Drain covers are effective at blocking sink and tub clogs from hair. Your piping may be old and crumbling or blocked beneath your floor. This can happen due to chemical reactions between copper piping and cast iron. You may need professional intervention, unless you feel qualified to undertake this task.
Baking soda vinegar or Diet Coke
Hi, there are several things that might be causing problem, from tree roots to improper piping to begin with. I hate to say this, but it's time to call in a certified plumber. If the 90's causing the problem it needs to be replaced or one day, no matter what you try, it's just not going to unclog and flood the room.
I agree with Bij, a professional would be best to clean the main line out to the street sewer line..... they use a camera on a snake to find the problem, usually tree roots, or if you have kids sometimes sponges, diapers etc get flushed.

Pour soda in the tank of the toilet. Good luck!
That can give you problems correct it by excavating and install a long sweep 90 .that's why it's more expensive when you do it yourself or hire a non professional
