Kitchen Sink Clogs
Greases are the number one cause of kitchen sink clogs and sinks that drain slowly. – they go down the drain easily in a liquid state (think hot grease in a pan or grease dissolved in hot dishwashing water) BUT when they move through your pipes, the grease gets cold. This solid grease coats the inside of the tube and gets thicker and thicker until it has slow drainage or a complete blockage.
Food Particles – Large food particles or vegetable peels that get caught in the curved tube under the sink (also known as a parking trap) are another common cause of kitchen clogs.
CAUSES OF BATHROOM SINK CLOCK
Hair: Hair is the most common cause of bathroom drains. Hair easily goes down the drain with water and then collects inside the tube until the line is blocked. These clogs generally occur just below the drain.
Soap scum: Greasy soap residue and particles can also coat the inside of the tube and cause clogs. In some cases, the soap buildup can become so scant that it can actually corrode the pipes.

A SEAL
Works on: food particles or objects stuck in the parking trap (the curved tube) during washing. Try this on completely clogged or slow draining drains.
How to use: Clean the surrounding area in case of water splashes. Fill the sink halfway with warm water and give it a good drop with a rubber plunger. Rinse the drain with lukewarm water.
Why it works: The plunger removes trapped food particles and lets them pass through the drain tube. The water rinse flushes them down the drain.

Long Wire Hook
Works on: Hair or small objects stuck in bathroom drains. Try this on completely clogged or slow draining bathroom drains.
How to use:
Klempner München Bend the end of a long piece of wire into a small hook with pliers (a hanger works fine) or get a tool to clean the drains. Carefully remove the cap from the drain, remove any visible dirt, and then insert the hook (if you want gloves, it’s ugly). Pull the hook up again and remove the dirt (this will be a bunch of hair and decaying dirt). Use the hook several times in the drain to make sure the dirt is completely removed. Dispose of waste in container.
