| Shit shit help. In my infinite wisdom, I just threw up into the sink.
Sink is now blocked, and Im nowhere near anywhere I can buy a plunger.
Really need it sorted before my mum gets home, have unscrewed sink, and waters drained but sink is still blocked, any ideas how I can unblock it in the next hour?

| Re: Shit shit help. Pour shitloads of bleach into it, leave it for a while, then boil the kettle and pour into the sink onto the bleach? Sometimes works in unblocking my sink.
No promises it will work, and not make your kitchen smell like bleach/puke though!

| Re: Shit shit help. In fact, if you have a plastic cup, preferably quite a tall one, place a hole in the top of it and then place the cup over the sink plughole and do a blowing-sucking motion down the hole you created. This may work a bit like a plunger, but may also be boke-inducing. |

| Re: Shit shit help. You’ve filled up the waste trap and outlet pipe under/behind the sink. You need to take it apart and empty it. Messy, nasty, filthy job … but not difficult. Put towels/newspaper/anything down all around the floor first.
Under your sink there should be a bulbous plastic bit with a horizontal pipe that goes off from it into the wall, aye? You need to twist to release and remove the bulbous plastic bit. It’ll be full of your puke.
When you remove that waste trap, all the puke backed up in the sink will fall straight through onto the floor and your hands … so scoop out as much of it as you can and get rid of it cleanly before starting.

I'm with the bleach and hot water idea, though. |

| Re: Shit shit help. Seriously, none of the ideas to do with pouring stuff down it will work. This is a sink, not a toilet. The waste trap is full of chunks, that’s all. It needs emptied.

| Re: Shit shit help. I puked on someone's hands a few days ago (came about through an intellectual probe: ''why won't you let me vomit into your hands?''). That way you can check what's there before consigning valuable or troublesome stuff to pipes and beyond.
