​1. The Boiling Water Method
​Best for: Grease and soap buildup.
​This is the easiest first step. If the clog is caused by hardened grease or soap scum, heat can melt it away.
​Boil a kettle or pot of water.
​Pour the boiling water slowly down the drain in two or three stages, waiting a few seconds between each pour.
​Turn on the faucet to see if the water drains faster.
​Warning: Do not use boiling water if you have PVC (plastic) pipes, as the intense heat can loosen the joints. Use hot tap water instead. Also, never pour boiling water into a porcelain toilet bowl, as it can crack the ceramic.
​2. The Baking Soda & Vinegar Solution
​Best for: Minor clogs and smelly drains.
​This creates a natural chemical reaction that fizzes and helps break down grime.
​Pour 1/2 cup of baking soda down the drain.
​Follow it immediately with 1/2 cup of white vinegar.
​Cover the drain with a plug or a cloth to keep the fizzing action inside the pipe.
​Let it sit for 15 to 30 minutes.
​Flush the drain with a pot of boiling (or very hot) water.
​3. Using a Plunger
​Best for: Solid blockages in sinks, toilets, and tubs.
​The goal is to create a vacuum to dislodge the clog.
​Seal the overflow: If you are unclogging a sink, use a wet rag to block the overflow hole (the small hole near the top of the basin). This ensures the air pressure goes down the drain, not out the hole.
​Create a seal: Place the plunger cup over the drain opening. Make sure there is enough water in the sink to cover the rubber cup of the plunger.
​Plunge correctly: Push down gently to release air, then pull up and push down vigorously and quickly. The pulling motion is just as important as the pushing motion.
​Repeat this for 20–30 seconds, then break the seal to see if the water drains.
​4. Cleaning the P-Trap
​Best for: Clogs that are stuck in the curved pipe under the sink.
​If the plunger doesn't work, the blockage might be in the U-shaped pipe (the P-trap) under your sink.
​Preparation: Place a bucket underneath the U-shaped pipe to catch any water or sludge.
​Unscrew: Unscrew the slip nuts on both ends of the P-trap. You can usually do this by hand, but you might need pliers (use a cloth to protect the metal from scratches).
​Clean: Remove the P-trap and dump the contents into the bucket. Use a wire coat hanger or a bottle brush to push out any stuck debris.
​Reassemble: Put the P-trap back, tighten the nuts by hand, and run the water to check for leaks.
​5. Using a Drain Snake (Plumber’s Auger)
​Best for: Deep, stubborn clogs (like hair masses) further down the line.
​Feed the cable of the snake into the drain opening.
​Turn the handle clockwise while pushing the cable further in.
​When you feel resistance, you have hit the clog. Do not force it.
​Rotate the snake to hook onto the debris, then gently pull the cable back out. You will likely pull out a clump of hair or gunk.
​Run hot water to clear the remaining debris.
