Yes, dish soap can effectively help unclog minor grease and soap scum blockages in household sinks. Because dish soap is formulated to cut through oils and fats, squirting a generous amount down the drain followed by a kettle of hot water lubricates the interior pipe walls and breaks down the organic binding agents holding minor debris together, allowing wastewater pressure to flush it away. Verification: Flush the drain with hot running water to confirm that the soapy residue and blockage have washed away completely.
