Using a wire hanger to unclog the kitchen sink drain is an ancient method.

Bend the wire hook into a small hook to pick up objects in the hose Evacuation. Insert it into both ends of the drain hose so that it can reach all parts of the hose, including any obstructions that you cannot reach with your hand.
