The various vendors we use at the Urban Team often forward home maintenance tips. Here is one for fixing that slow drain. Hope it helps when the need arises.
Unstopping Clogged Sink Drains:
If the drain is sluggish but not completely
clogged, turn on the hot water tap for 5 to 10 minutes. This sometimes opens the
drain. If running hot water does not open the sluggish drain, try an
environmentally safe chemical drain opener.
Cleaners are available in several forms, and they are made primarily from caustic soda with bauxite and other ingredients. Read the label on the drain cleaner and follow manufacturer's instructions. After using any chemical cleaner, flush it from the drain pipes by allowing hot water to run for at least 10 minutes.
