Frequently, all that stands between you and a well-draining sink is a clump of hair tangled around the lower part of your pop-up. It’s make no sense that a lot hair ends up accumulating in the lower part of your sink if you never cleanse your hair in your sink, but the hair finds its way down the drain. Whether if you are brushing your hair over the sink or clean your hands of hair gel, over time, hair strands build up and obstruct water from passing through the pipe. The hair clog may also inhibit the pop-up from closing properly when you try to fill the sink with water—water slowly drains down because the hair prevents the stopper from making a tight seal. So, it’s a nice plan to clean your pop-up frequently, to prevent poor drainage.
CONSIDER
Few pop-ups don't need any disassembly & can be taken out from the top of your sink, just pull out the pop-up & clean off the hair clog. Keep in mind to have a waste bag to discard the hair and muck.
PREPARATION
• Working below a sink is always cramped and awkward. To make enough space for yourself, remove all your under-the sink articles. (How do we accumulate so much stuff ?)
• Put down an old pillow or blanket to lie on so that you can be more comfortable as you’re working.
• Stand a lit flash light inside the vanity for better visibility.
