How to Unclog Bathroom Sink Naturally

2. Pour Baking Soda And Vinegar.

Another miracle solution for a bathroom sink clogging problem is a combination of baking soda and vinegar. All you need to do is pour at least ½ cup of baking soda into the drain. This will attach to the gunk and dirt build up that might be causing the problem. After doing so, pour ½ cup of vinegar. You will notice a fizzle which is a chemical reaction between the two. This combination will loosen the materials stuck on the drain pipe. Follow this by pouring hot water several times until the clog is removed. By the way, other people use Alka Seltzer instead if baking soda is not available. It is said to have the same fizzle effect when combined with white vinegar. You might also want to give this a try.

3. Bend a Wire Hanger.

If there are solid materials clogging the drain such as toothpaste caps, piece of soap or even children’s toys, this problem might need an alternative solution other than baking soda and vinegar. Here, you will improvise and turn a wire hanger into a hooking tool. If you have one of those hangers from the cleaners, this is the best material to use since it can easily be bent. Straighten the hanger and leave the tip that is shaped as a hook. If the end of the hanger is too big to fit the hole, use pliers to adjust its size. Next, using a flashlight, try to get the object that has been stuck. Once you have removed the material, you might want to pour hot water to loosen the gunk and grime on the pipe.

These are just three effective ways you can try if you are faced with a slow draining bathroom sink or sink with standing water problem. If these techniques don’t work, a plumber’s snake can also be used if you have one in the house. Why call and pay a plumber when you can fix the problem on your own?
