Rave: Plungers

What a miracle of simplicity. My bathroom sink has been horribly clogged and finally reached the point where it essentially didn't drain. I think the water was probably evaporating faster than it was draining. I remembered someone here suggesting the use of a plunger for such a circumstance. My first instinct would have been to take the whole drain apart which would have been messy, gross, and time consuming. I tried the plunger route first. 30 seconds. Completely cleared. Amazing.

Did you clean the poop off first?

Nah, it hadn't been used in months. I gave the sink a good bleach cleaning afterwards though.

It's amazing that you waited so long to experience the power of the plunger.

It just wouldn't have occurred to me to use one to unclog a sink. Thanks to whoever suggested it.
