Found a trick for unclogging a bathroom sink with a shop vac and a rag
Last month my bathroom sink was draining super slow and I tried everything - boiling water, baking soda and vinegar, even that weird zip tool thing. Nothing worked for more than a day. Then my neighbor mentioned using a shop vac to suck out the clog. I just sealed the drain with a wet rag around the vac hose and let it run for about 30 seconds. Pulled out a nasty glob of hair and soap gunk that had been sitting there for probably 3 years. Has anyone else tried this method or got a better trick for sink clogs that won't come out the normal way?

sealed the drain with a wet rag" is exactly what I was missing before - I always thought shop vacs were just for sawdust and car interiors but this totally changed my mind about how useful they are around the house.

Ever try using one to unclog a toilet? Buddy of mine swore by it.

Doesn't that risk shooting gross water everywhere though?
