Cleaning out the bathroom sink drain regularly can help you avoid a complete stoppage. A Zip It tool makes this job easy and quick. You can purchase a Zip It at home improvement stores or your local hardware store for a few dollars.
Use a Zip It to clean your bathroom sink drain every few months or when you notice that the water drains slowly. Keep in mind that a Zip It cannot clear a complete stoppage. However, it can clear out the small amount of hair and build up that accumulates over time.
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: 5 minutes
Here's How:
- Insert it into the sink drain. You may have to wiggle it a little to work it in since it can get caught on the drain stopper.
- Once it is all the way in pull it out, wiggling it if necessary.
- Clean any hair and build up off of the Zip It.
- Repeat this couple of times until it comes out clean.
