Have you found a good drain declogger?

Question

My bathroom sinks seem to clog quickly, and the only thing I can think of is they are a smaller drain. But at the same time besides toothpaste and soap, what's the problem?
What have you found to be the best to unclog bathrrom sink drains

Answer 1

There may be hair and other things stick stuck inside. I've found that hair is usually the big culprit.

Pour half a box of baking soda into the drain. The pour half a bottle of vinegar in. Wait 30 minutes. Then pour scalding hot water down the drain. Repeat if necessary.

Answer 2

When you are finished using the sink for the day, pour about 2 cups of household bleach into the drain and do not run the water for 6 hours or so.
Then flush with hot water.
(May need to repeat until all the hair is dissolved)
Easy, quick, dirty method:
remove the p-trap under the sink (easy, quick) and clean out the nasty stuff inside (dirty).

Answer 3

We had frequent drain issues in our main bathroom. Fortunately our drain allowed you to turn and remove the built-in stopper. With a flashlight we discovered a kids toothbrush festering down there!

Since your problem keeps recurring, it makes me think something is catching onto the hair and toothpaste - some foreign object might be stuck there. If you can check it out with a flashlight, great. Otherwise you might have to undo the "U" shaped pipe (trap) and view it directly.

Answer 4

A bent coat hanger has always been best for me.

If you run the water for a few seconds extra after something goes down it will help that material go down and hopefully keep it from clogging as much.

Answer 5

liquid plumber...or just try to plung it real well...I did this to my mom's drain (it would hardly go down)...you should have seen all the hair & fibers I got out of her bathroom drain...now it works like a charm
