Are there any remedies for helping a clogged sink?

Question

Preferably any home remedies besides the chemical stuff you can buy? The water drains down extremely slowly.

Answer 1

if u can take the trap apart and clean it..do that,,if not...get a plunger and just keep plunging

Answer 2

You can try baking soda followed by vinegar. This will remove loose particles that may be blocking the drain line. If you need to go with a chemical cleaner, use an enzyme drain cleaner such as Drain-Care by Zep. It is safe for all drain systems. Enzyme cleaners cling to and eat organic clogs. Caustic cleaners eat a small hole and the flow down the pipes leaving a partial clog to build up again.

Answer 3

One home remedy with a proven track record is to pour a handful of baking soda mixed with a half cup of vinegar down the drain, and follow it quickly with boiling water.

Answer 4

I was told to try Baking Soda. Put about half a box down the drain. Then when you run your water, it should slowly go down and break up whatever is there, supposedly even grease.

Answer 5

Use a snake they are relativly cheap and they will worm down there and undo the clog.
