To clear a slightly clogged sink drain without resorting to harsh chemical openers, start by removing the pop-up stopper or strainer basket and clearing out trapped hair and soap sludge using a plastic zip-it tool. Next, pour half a cup of baking soda down the drain followed by warm white vinegar, let the mixture fizz for 30 minutes to break down organic residue, and flush the pipe thoroughly with a kettle of hot tap water. Verification: Run the faucet at full volume to confirm that the water drains rapidly without backing up.
