Unclogging a Kitchen Sink

Boiling Water

This is the easiest fix. Boil a kettle of water and pour it slowly down the drain. Wait a few minutes and repeat. This works well for minor grease clogs.

Baking Soda and Vinegar

1. Pour 1 cup of boiling water down the drain.
2. Pour 1/2 cup of baking soda down the drain.
3. Follow with 1/2 cup of vinegar. Cover the drain with a plug if possible.
4. Wait 5-10 minutes.
5. Flush with another kettle of boiling water.

The Plunger

If the clog persists, use a cup plunger (not a toilet plunger). Fill the sink with a few inches of water to create a seal, then plunge vigorously.
