How To Clean Out A Bathroom Sink Drain

A slow-draining or clogged bathroom sink is a common plumbing problem that can be easily fixed with a few simple steps. The most common cause of a clogged sink drain is a buildup of hair, soap scum, and other debris. To clean out a bathroom sink drain, you will need the following supplies:

A plunger
A drain snake
A baking soda and vinegar solution
A pair of rubber gloves

Once you have gathered your supplies, follow these steps to clean out your bathroom sink drain:

Start by plunging the drain.

This will help to loosen any clogs that may be present. To plunge the drain, place the plunger over the drain opening and push and pull the plunger up and down vigorously for several minutes. 2.

If plunging the drain does not work, you can try using a drain snake.

A drain snake is a long, flexible tool that can be inserted into the drain to break up clogs. To use a drain snake, insert the snake into the drain opening and turn the crank to feed the snake into the drain. Once the snake has reached the clog, use the crank to turn the snake back and forth to break up the clog. 3.

If plunging and snaking the drain do not work, you can try using a baking soda and vinegar solution.

To make a baking soda and vinegar solution, combine 1/2 cup of baking soda with 1/2 cup of vinegar in a bowl. Pour the solution down the drain and let it sit for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, flush the drain with hot water. 4.
