Yucky to watch, but this works!
I hate to use chemical drain openers because if they don't work the job becomes more dangerous to the people attempting to fix the problem.I'm gonna get a few plastic snakes and keep to clean the yucky, soapy hair (eeeewww) out of my drain every 3 - 4 months. Amazing how this clears a slow drain.
Pouring half a bottle of Drano or Liquid Plummer in the drain is much more expensive and doesn't do the job.
I had a friend that was a plumber and he got a call from a lady who had poured a melted candle into the kitchen drain.(she was not a senior citizen) After he replaced the drain she ask he not to tell any one.. lol
Preventative maintenance before they get stopped up.. Use straight lye or Drano monthly then rinse out with very hot water with Dawn soap detergent.

I want to do that, remove the cover, but don't know how to do that. I know it's a dumb question but I am truly clueless.I tried that but I ended up having to take off that silver overflow cover and use a hook I made from a coat hanger to clean it out. Then I stuffed a wet towel in that hole and plunged the drain. That opened it for good.
Ah, I always forget to check YouTube, what a great place. I watched 3 videos and now know what to do with or without the screw.Mine has two big screws on the front to remove, yours might have them somewhere less obvious or none at all. You might have to look online to find the kind you have. Some of them look like they just pull off.
Not really. I tried to unscrew it and the screw would not budge, I didn't want to force it so I went ahead and used Liquid Plumber. When the chemical is finished I will try using the plastic snake or coat hanger.Great
