Hi all. Anybody have any tips or tricks on making a bathroom sink drain faster without going through the process of taking it apart, cleaning it, and putting it back together?
Normally when my bathroom sink starts to drain slowly, I remove the P-trap and push all the gunk through the bottom into a bucket using a metal rod. Now that I might be responsible for cleaning out several bathroom sinks, I’m starting to dread this process far more.
Drano works OK and makes the sinks drain a bit faster, but it usually gets bad pretty quickly again. Any tools I should be investing in for minor stoppages like this?
I love the flat plastic barbed things you shove down the drain, pulling back a ton of gunk stuck on the barbs: Zip tool
They cost a couple bucks at a hardware ire home improvement store. They work extremely well.
Zip tools are life changing. My bathroom sink gets the zip tool treatment every month or so when it starts to drain slowly. It’s amazing how much hair these can pull out.
