Remove the stopper. Boil your kettle again and pour the boiling water down the drain. Follow this immediately with a steady stream of hot tap water for 30 seconds.

Pour 1/2 cup of baking soda directly into the drain. Try to get it as far down the hole as possible. Use a spoon or the end of a toothbrush to push any clinging powder down.
