Turn off any water supply if necessary and put on rubber gloves for hygiene.
Remove any visible hair or debris from the drain opening with your hands or a tool.
Boil a kettle of water and carefully pour it into the drain to help loosen the clog.
Measure half a cup of baking soda and pour it directly into the drain opening.
Follow with half a cup of white vinegar and cover the drain to contain the fizzing reaction.
Wait for about 10 minutes while the baking soda and vinegar work to break down the clog.
Boil another pot of water and pour it slowly into the drain to flush out loosened debris.
Place a plunger over the drain opening, ensuring a good seal, and pump vigorously for 15-20 seconds.
Lift the plunger to see if water starts draining; repeat if necessary.
If the clog remains, insert a drain snake into the pipe and push it in until resistance is felt.
Rotate the snake clockwise to hook or break up the clog, then pull it out carefully.
Pour hot water into the drain to wash away remaining debris and residue.
Wipe around the drain area, clean tools, and wash your hands thoroughly.
Run water to check if the drain flows freely without obstruction.
