Unclogging a kitchen sink is easy when you follow these simple steps.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • 1/2 cup bleach
  • Plunger

Step1
Remove as much water by hand as you can.
Step2
Pour bleach in the sink drain.
Step3
Run the dishwasher. The hot water from the dishwasher has to use the same pipes as the one in the sink. You cannot get the water as hot on your own without a lot of work.
Step4
Have a plunger standing by.
Step5
Let the dishwasher run for about 5 minutes, then place the plunger over the sink drain and plunge. Repeat if necessary until sink is unclogged.
