Step 2: Try a Plunger

A plunger is a simple tool that can be used to unclog sinks and toilets. To use a plunger, follow these steps:

1. Fill the sink with enough water to cover the plunger cup.
2. Place the plunger over the drain and push and pull vigorously.
3. Repeat until the clog is cleared.

Step 3: Use a Drain Snake

1. Insert the drain snake into the drain and push it down until it reaches the clog.
2. Turn the crank on the drain snake to rotate the cable and break up the clog.
3. Pull the drain snake out of the drain and rinse it with water.

Step 4: Use a Chemical Drain Cleaner
