To clear a blocked bathroom sink, start by removing and cleaning the pop-up stopper mechanism, as it is the primary trap for human hair and soap residue. If the drain remains blocked, place a cup plunger over the drain while sealing the overflow port with a wet rag, and plunge vigorously 6 to 8 times. If the clog is deeper in the P-trap, place a bucket underneath, unscrew the slip-joint nuts, and manually empty accumulated sludge. Callout type="warning" title="Hygiene Warning": Place a bucket under the P-trap before loosening slip-joint nuts to catch stagnant wastewater. Verification: Reassemble the piping and run the faucet to verify proper drainage.
