How To Remove Stopper From Sink

There are a few different ways to remove a stopper from a sink, depending on the type of stopper and sink you have. Here are some of the most common methods:

For pop-up stoppers:

Turn the stopper counterclockwise. Most pop-up stoppers are held in place by a screw thread. To remove the stopper, simply turn it counterclockwise until it comes loose.
Use a pair of pliers. If the stopper is stuck, you can use a pair of pliers to grip the edge of the stopper and turn it counterclockwise. Be careful not to damage the stopper or the sink.
Use a suction cup. If the stopper is smooth and you can't get a good grip on it, you can use a suction cup to remove it. Simply place the suction cup over the center of the stopper and pull straight up.

For flange stoppers:

Remove the flange screws. Flange stoppers are held in place by screws that are located around the perimeter of the flange. To remove the stopper, simply unscrew the screws using a screwdriver.
Lift the flange off the sink. Once the screws are removed, you should be able to lift the flange off the sink. The stopper will be attached to the underside of the flange.
Remove the stopper from the flange. The stopper is usually held in place by a clip or a screw. To remove the stopper, simply unclip it or unscrew it from the flange.

For basket stoppers:

Lift the stopper out of the sink. Basket stoppers are usually not attached to the sink, so you should be able to simply lift them out.
Remove the basket from the stopper. The basket is usually held in place by a clip or a screw. To remove the basket, simply unclip it or unscrew it from the stopper.
Clean the stopper and the basket. Once the stopper and basket are removed, you can clean them with soap and water. Be sure to dry them thoroughly before reassembling them.

Once you have removed the stopper from the sink, you can clean the sink and the stopper. Be sure to dry the sink and the stopper thoroughly before reassembling them.
