Frequently Asked Questions

How do you unblock a bathroom sink?

Drain unblocker is ideal for unblocking a bathroom sink. However, you can also unblock a bathroom sink in five steps with just water, baking soda and white vinegar. When following these steps, please be careful when handling hot water.

1. Make sure your basin is empty and dry.

2. Pour one cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by two cups of hot water, and wait around 5 minutes.

3. Pour another cup of baking soda down the drain, and then a cup of white vinegar.
