• Boil some water in a kettle. Pour the water
  generously into the sink drain. This usually
  flushes down sticky substances that cling onto
  the walls of the drainpipes.

• Pour a cup of baking soda into the sink hole
  followed by a cup of vinegar. Cover the hole with
  a rag and let the two ingredients create a
  fizzing effect.

• Still clogged? Use your plunger. Position it
  right on the sink hole. Make sure that the rubber
  part is soaked in water. Start plunging up and
  down in a consistent pace to flush the clog.

• If you have a nasty build-up in the pipe, use
  your plumbing snake. Insert the wire into the
  hole and rotate the crank to break through the
  solid material. Repeat until the pipe is clear.

• If the said methods dont solve the problem,
  remove the trap and use your plumbing snake to
  hook out the clog from there. Make sure you have
  a bucket to hold the excess water in the pipe.

• Use Alka Seltzer tablets as a substitute for
  baking soda. Drop three to four tablets in the
  sink drain and pour a cup of vinegar. Let the two
  create a chemical reaction. After 10 minutes,
  pour hot water.

• Dont use drain cleaners that have strong
  chemical content. They may get rid of the clog
  but theyll also damage your pipes over time.

• When your bathroom sink pipe is always getting
  blocked up, you have to check its plumbing
  installation. Maybe the pipe is too small? Maybe
  its not set up correctly? Or maybe, you have a
  problem with your venting.
