5 Simple Ways to Unclog a Drain

1. The Plunger

A simple cup plunger is often the best tool for the job. Ensure there's enough water to cover the bell of the plunger, create a tight seal, and push vigorously.

2. Baking Soda and Vinegar

Pour 1/2 cup of baking soda followed by 1/2 cup of white vinegar down the drain. Cover it and let it sit for 15-30 minutes, then flush with hot water.

3. Boiling Water

Boil water and pour it slowly down the drain in two to three stages, allowing the hot water to work for a few seconds in between each pour. Do not use this method on PVC pipes.

4. The Wire Hanger

Straighten out a regular wire coat hanger and bend one end to create a small hook. Carefully push it down the drain and fish out any hair or debris.
