How can I clean out a slow drain?
assistant
To clean out a slow drain, start by removing the drain cover and using a plumber's snake or a wire hanger to fish out any debris that might be causing the clog. Next, pour a mixture of hot water and dish soap down the drain, followed by a pot of boiling water. This should help break down any grease or soap scum stuck in the pipe. If the clog persists, try using a store-bought chemical drain cleaner, following safety instructions on the package. If you are still unable to unclog the drain, contact a licensed plumber for assistance.
