Which brings up a good point; why would anyone need a plunger for a sink? If it gets clogged, nothing will help you short of a drain snake. And if you’re kitchen sink is getting clogged, it’s time to invest in a garbage disposal.
Comment on Toilet specific plungers get the job done faster and with way less effort and mess.

I’ll keep that in mind next time I poop in the sink.

Plungers certainly do help with sinks. Loosens up a partial clog easily in my experience.

Especially in combination with soda, vinegar and hot water.
Hagdos@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Soda and vinegar is an odd combination. Soda is a base, making water alkali. Vinegar is an acid, making water acidic. Together, they make water neutral again, with a lot of pretty bubbles.
Either one can work really well depending on the stuff you need to get rid of. But adding one to the other just weakens it.

Mix in some red food coloring and you’ve got yourself a good time

So weird. It always seems to pump air through the overflow and do no good. By the time you figure out how to plug the overflow, you might as well have taken off the trap and emptied it in the trash

Many sinks do not have overflow drains.

I just put my hand over the hole, takes two seconds. And I don’t have to clear out under the sink and get a bucket. (And it’s only very rarely necessary)

I’ve found a plunger useful for a sink occasionally, a bit of back and forth plunging can loosen up a hairball or break a layer of fat/soap scum. On the other hand I’ve never needed to use a plunger on a toilet - Australian toilets don’t seem to have anywhere near the amount of issues the American designs do.

And the bidet’s right there.
Good thinking.

Damn and my kitchen faucet comes with a “power wash” mode. I can’t wait to blast boiling hot water up my butthole. 🤤

And the sink strainer is there to save and repurpose the corn.
