Take the u-bend off in the cupboard under the sink and clean that. you can undo the drainage and put it back together it's generally white plastic tubing with a grippable thread at the joints.

get underneath the sink and take out the trap. Use a scrapper and get out all of the gunk since this is where the block would be. you will go a lot longer without another stoppage. It is easy to take out. the pipe coming out of the sink has a screw end on it and the other end just slides out of the pipe going into the wall.

Unscrew the sink trap into a bucket and clean it with a warm solution of biological washing powder.
Wear rubber gloves.

If I cant plunge the thing out...
Then I get a wet and dry vac and suck the stuff out...
shove wand far enough down, or get a hose and duct tape it on the end and shove it down..
Put water in the trap after that...to stop sewer gas from coming up...hot water perferably to dissolve any other gunk.
I wish you well..

First try a plunger- block off one side tightly and then plunger the other , if that don't work, take apart the trap. that where the block is, unless you put Potato peels in the disposal, they clog up the line.

Take the u bend off...as has been mentioned before.It's easy and then you'll know it's clean and last a lot longer than doing the 'I'll just pour this crap down it and hope for the best' bit.

best way to is to use a plunger, liquid plumber doesnt ussually work well. if it is hair you may have to take the trap off. if it is an all glue trap with no nut to unscrew you need to hired a plumber or get a new trap, and glue to replace the old one.

There's a really cheap plastic tool called Zip It that unclogs drains really easily. It costs about $2.50 and always works for me.
