5 Easy Ways to Unclog a Drain 1. This tip is probably the easiest and the most popular. Simply take a wire hanger and straighten it out as best you can. Then take and make a little hook at one end of the hanger and gently lower it into the drain, being careful not to push anything down deeper into the drain. Start fishing around and pulling out the gunk. 2. By mixing vinegar and baking soda, a 1/3 of each, into a cup or bottle, you can clear out gunk, hair, and grime. The solution will start to fizz as soon as you mix the two, so try and pour it down the drain as soon as possible. 3. Using a wet and dry vacuum can also be a handy tool to unclog a stubborn drain. Simply start off by setting the vacuum to liquid and then creating a tight seal around the drain. This is to ensure that you are sucking out all that old hair and grime. 4. Another easy way to unclog a drain is by simply pouring boiling water down the drain 2 or 3 times in order to break down the gunk that is in the drain. 5. Last, but not least mix a 1/2 cup of table salt and a 1/2 cup of baking soda and pour down the drain, let it sit for 10-20 minutes and then pour boiling water down the drain. This will create a solution that will dissolve whatever maybe clogging your drain.
