What's the best thing to use for a stubborn clog??

This bathroom sink clogs periodically, then will be fine for a while.


When it does clog, however, 'black stuff' comes out of the drain when you plunge it???????

time to replace your waste pipe, you may get away with cleaning/renewing the trap beneath the sink waste, but I see this all the time with pipes that are at least 10 years old, check the whole length of the waste pipe run too, if it goes uphill at any stage this will slow the flow and allow easier clogging.
Reply:Try this:


In the evening when you definitely will not run any water in the bathroom sink for the rest of the evening--take a bottle of Liquid plumber and pour the entire bottle down the sink,,,,,follow this with 8 ounces of water. And leave it there all night.


Your drain problem is not underneath the sink in the ''trap'',,,it is further on in the drain. This gives it a chance to start breaking it up.
Reply:girls put a lot of things down the drain...hair...soaps...make up....creams and more....that might be the black stuff u see that builds up over time....best thing is to remove the trap under the sink....when its removed look down the drain and if the walls of the tail pipe ( which is the pipe attached to the sink about 6 inches long ) is clogged in any way then use so sort of stick or butter knife and try to push the muck through ( have a bucket ready to catch anything that might fall through....be sure to also clean out the drain that u removed....feel up inside the other end of the pipe where the trap was screwed to....hair may be up inside
Reply:Pour one cup baking soda, one cup of white vinegar, and one cup boiling water down the drain. Let it set for 30 minutes, and flush with cold water. The bubbling reaction of the BS and vinegar will clean the drain. If you do this once a week, it will keep the drain clean.
