Veering a bit off topic but still about sink stoppers, last year I had
the pesky pop-up stoppers in my bathroom sinks disconnected and bought
good old fashioned rubber stoppers. I got tired of dealing with
slow/clogged drains in the bathroom sinks. Products like Drain-O and
Liquid Plumr were a waste of money. Despite what online videos show,
the Zip-It drain cleaning tool was hindered by the pop-up mechanism. No
longer a worry. Those little rubber stoppers make things so much
easier! I went to a local hardware store and was surprised by all the
different sizes of bathroom sink stoppers. I needed a 1-1/4" (very
small) stopper.
