  • Any recommendations for sink/bath drain uncloggers? It's not blocked, just a bit slow.

  • As per previous re caustic soda but if you can access the P trap then you can probably sort the problem out and then put the caustic through it's once back together. In my kids' bathroom it is my daughter's long hair which seems to clog it.

  • It's always my wife's hair that clogs our drain.
    I never use anything caustic to clean it out because it's never worked.
    What has worked is to remove the lever actuated sink plug and corresponding plastic piece below it and pulling out the offending bits with an extra long tweezer. I pulled the trap apart once and there was almost nothing there, it was all wrapped around the plastic piece.
    The hardest part is re-aligning the steel rod in the trap after I'm finished.
    And to keep from puking as I pull up the gummy globs of partially digested hair.
