How To Clear A Bathroom Sink Clog

A clogged bathroom sink is a common problem that can be easily fixed with a few simple steps. Here's how to clear a bathroom sink clog:

1. **Start by removing the drain stopper.** If the stopper is removable, simply pull it out. If the stopper is not removable, you can try using a pair of pliers to gently pry it out.

2. **Once the stopper is removed, you can use a plunger to try to clear the clog.** Place the plunger over the drain and push and pull vigorously. If the plunger does not clear the clog, you can try using a drain snake.

3. **A drain snake is a long, flexible tool that can be inserted into the drain to break up the clog.** To use a drain snake, simply insert the snake into the drain and turn the handle to feed the snake into the drain. Once the snake reaches the clog, you can use the handle to break up the clog.

4. **If the plunger and drain snake do not clear the clog, you may need to use a chemical drain cleaner.** Chemical drain cleaners are harsh chemicals that can damage your pipes if they are not used properly. Be sure to read and follow the directions on the product label carefully.

5. **Once you have cleared the clog, be sure to flush the drain with hot water to remove any remaining debris.** You can also pour a cup of baking soda down the drain followed by a cup of vinegar to help keep the drain clear.
