I use this wherever I'm cleaning a bathroom sink and it's slow draining. To use, slide the zip it down the drain, past the pop-up assemble, wiggle, pull back up. Have a bucket of warm sudsy water ready. What comes up is nasty and shouldn't be dragged through the house. I dump the bucket's water outside, under a bush, and cover the debris with some leaves or dirt if there's a lot. It costs around $3. It makes a good stocking stuffer, and also a good addition to green cleaning kits that you might make to give away as a gift or sell.

I take my comment back. =( While I thought it was unclogged it only remained so for only a few days... I wonder if this "clog" was just unlodged and went deeper or something else happened. 3rd attempt, here it comes.

I used a combination of baking soda w/ hot water, some vinegar, and a plunger to clear a clog in the basement bathroom sink. I'm not sure if one or the other did the trick, but I told myself, 'might as well use everything available in the house.' Also do these products damage the pipes/drain?

Yes, unfortunately the vinegar and baking soda doesn't work for me either. I've tried lots of hot water but still not great results. Other suggestions?

I've used the solution also but it never worked for me. Do you have another solution other than a plumber.

I pour white vinegar down my drains regularly as it kills bacteria and keeps mold and algae from growing which can cause blockage.

The solution works. I have been using the Baking soda and vinegar route for a few years. I use it to prevent any clogups also. And it works every time.
