How to fix a slow drain at a bathroom sink

To fix a slow drain at a bathroom sink, don’t mess with acids that you pour down your sink. They can damage the pipes, and they don’t always work.

Instead, get yourself a zip drain cleaning tool, like the one shown below. Menards currently has them on sale for $1.39.

If you have to pay full price, you may need to pony up $3.

You can stick this right down your drain, past the pop-up assembly, and pull out a big old hairball. That’s what usually causes a slow drain. But for the best results, I recommend removing your drain stopper first. This will give you better access to the drain. Check out the short clip below to see the whole process.
