Why Skip the Chemicals?
Chemical drain cleaners generate heat that can warp PVC pipes and create toxic fumes.
Method 1: Boiling Water (Free)
For grease clogs. Boil a full kettle and pour in stages.
Method 2: Baking Soda + Vinegar ($2)
Pour 1/2 cup baking soda, then 1 cup vinegar. Cover, wait 15 min, flush with boiling water.

Use a cup plunger (flat bottom). Fill sink with water, create tight seal, plunge 10-15 times.
Method 4: Drain Snake ($15)
