Default Question for the plumbers out there....

I have a slow drain in my sink and bath tub. Does anyone know of any good fluids I can pour down there to get all the gunk out? I really don't want to take the trap off the sink and I don't have anything to get down into the bathtub drain. Suggestions?

i had the same problem in the bathroom of this house. draino didnt do shit to either.

the bathtub happened to have a lot of girls hair in the drain (girls lived here before), so i pulled it out (it was gross), but that solved the problem instantly.

as for the sink, i lived with it for a while, but it just got annoying, so i got a plunger and plunged ( :thinking: ) a ton. a lot of shit came out and it works fine now.
