Conquering the clog with Thrift

A clogged sink is never pleasant to deal with, but it can be a lot easier to handle. Most clogs in a sink occur below the trap. By first removing the trap you will have more of a direct access to the clog. Second, I would recommend using a commercial drain opener Thrift. Thrift is available online or a plumbing supply store. Third, boil a teapot of water( the spout on a teapot fits into a drain pipe easily), measure the proper amount of Thrift and pour into empty pipe. Next pour in the boiling water. This product is very powerful and will gurly and make some awful noises but be patient, within a few seconds the clog should disappear. If the clog does not go, I would recommend plunging the drain and repeating the application of Thrift. I would also recommend wearing a dust mask and eye protection when using Thrift.
