I noticed water backing up into my sink when my dishwasher drains. Oh no, I thought. A partial blockage. I used some Liquid Plumr.
Side note, you go to the store, and there’s big jugs and small jugs and three brands and liquid and “gel” and one part and two part…I don’t know if you’ve seen that youtube short of a tiktok of a Tumblr post talking about how there’s no such thing as “glue”? Well this reminds me of that because who the fuck knows what these substances are?
Anyway I bought one and followed the directions and it didn’t work so I’m probably going to have to take my sink drain apart which isn’t going to be fun.
You want this kind of thing, it easily removes the hair that is clogging the drain.

The difficult part can be the drain cover. You need to remove it because the hair plug will be sizeable and can’t just be pulled through the holes that the thing fits into.
Same thing with sinks in the bathroom btw, it is always hair and it will stink horribly, so be prepared for that.
