Go buy a snake.
Or you should be able to unscrew the threaded pieces of your p-trap. Have a bucket nearby.

Double sided sink? Both sides clogged? U have a disposal?

I would start with bathroom toilet plunger, it's the easiest... sometimes it will loosen the clog just enough. If that doesn't work need more info.

Use a toilet plunger but don't go crazy with it.

Most sinks have drain fittings that you can take apart by hand. Take a picture of it so you know it goes back together, then take it apart and check for clogs.

Take several big pots and fill up with water and bring them all to a boil. pour one down the sink and then the next. Assuming it is a oil stop up, it should work.

If and when you get it unplugged, run hot water through it for at least 30mins, to make sure you completely wash out the clogging

Depending on the nature of the clog, a spreading adder may be more efficient.

Good advice. If the plunger doesn't bust up the clog you can try taking a part the drain underneath and clean it out.

If it's still stopped up past the point to where you can't reach I highly suggest calling a drain service company.

Some things in life are worth paying for, cleaning out a sewer drain is one of them.

Plunger

Slow drain- boiling water (be careful)

Complete clogged- put a bucket under the p trap, take it apart.

If the clog is in the wall, use the snake.

Don’t use a snake from the sink. It will tear apart the p trap before it snakes around.

If it's a double sink you need to block one side with a rag while you plunge the opposite or you won't clear the clog.
