Method 3: The Plunger (Manual Pressure)
Yes, for sinks too! Use a sink plunger (smaller cup) or a toilet plunger with a flat rim.
Remove standing water until just enough covers the plunger cup.
Seal the overflow hole (in bathroom sinks) with a wet cloth.
Place plunger over drain, ensuring a tight seal.
Push down firmly, then pull up sharply. Repeat 10–15 times.
Check drainage. Repeat if needed.
Method 4: Clean the P-Trap (For Stubborn Sink Clogs)
The P-trap (the curved pipe under the sink) often catches debris.
Place a bucket underneath the trap.
Unscrew the slip nuts (by hand or with channel-lock pliers).
Remove the trap and clear out gunk into the bucket.
Rinse thoroughly, reattach, and tighten nuts by hand.
Run water to check for leaks.
Pro tip: Wear gloves and have a rag handy—it can be messy!
