Plunger Method

• 1). Remove the drain stopper in your sink if it has one. Many lift out and others come out by twisting them in a counter clockwise direction.
  
  
• 2). Place the plunger over the sink hole.
  
  
• 3). Stuff a wet cleaning cloth or sponge into the overflow hole. This helps unclog the drain by blocking the air source.
  
  
• 4). Fill the sink or tub with enough water to cover half the rubber section of the plunger. This helps create a tight seal.
  
  
• 5). Push the plunger up and down seven or eight times without breaking the seal.
  
  
• 6). Lift the plunger up swiftly after the eighth time. The water will drain rapidly if the clog is gone. If not, repeat the process.
  
  
• 7). Clean up any hair, soap scum or other debris that is near the drain hole after plunging. Pulling out any remaining hair or debris helps prevent the clog from recurring.
  
  

Baking Soda Method

• 1). Remove the drain stopper if the sink has one.
  
  
• 2). Pour 1/2 cup of baking soda into the drain hole.
  
  
• 3). Add 1/2 cup of white distilled vinegar to the drain. The combination will start to bubble, dissolving any soap scum or gunk clogging the drain.
  
  
• 4). Wait approximately 30 minutes for the mixture to work. Flush the drain with hot water.
  
  
• 5). Repeat the process if the water doesn't drain well.
