  • I heard one time if you pour a can of cola down the drain it will unclog it. I have tried it several times, when my kitchen sink was sluggish and it worked. I didn't have to use the whole can, so I got to drink the rest. lol
  • Mr Muscle Sink & Plug Hole Unblocker or something similar - I believe there's also a drain un-blocker as well.
  • Bleach works, and so does baking soda and vinegar
  • Which drain is it? Is the drain under a sinkful of water? If it is bail out, the extra water. Then take a kettle of boiling water and (holding it up about a foot) pour a steady stream of water right down the drain. If you suspect grease to be the cause of the blockage you can put detergent into the drain before you do the hot water to break up the grease. You can also use vinegar for the same purpose.
  • I always boil a couple pots full of water and start pouring, it melts any grease and kills the growth of jelly like fungi.
  • baking soda and vinegar, it works everytime.
  • You could use Coke. It works :) good luck with unplugging your drain!
  • Run very hot tap water through the drain after each use. This is one way to keep a drain free of odors. Try to avoid getting vegetable matter or grease in a kitchen drain. Try to avoid letting hair accumulate in bathroom drains. Treat any partially clogged drain promptly. Pour a handful of baking soda into the kitchen drain about once a week, then run very hot tap water through it. Or pour 1 c. vinegar or lemon juice in and let it stand for 30 minutes. Then run hot water through the drain. These steps will clean the drain of odors. Pour a strong salt brine down the kitchen sink drain regularly to eliminate odors and to keep grease from building up.
