How To Remove Pop Up Drain Stopper From Bathroom Sink

The pop-up drain stopper is an essential part of any bathroom sink. It helps keep water from escaping the sink and also prevents debris from entering the drainpipe.

Over time, the pop-up drain stopper can become clogged with hair, soap scum, and other debris. This can cause it to stick or become difficult to open and close. If the pop-up drain stopper is not working properly, it can be a major inconvenience.

There are a few simple steps you can take to remove the pop-up drain stopper from your bathroom sink.

1. Gather your tools.

You will need a few tools to remove the pop-up drain stopper. These tools include: * A pair of pliers * A screwdriver * A bucket or bowl * A rag

The drain cover is the small, round piece of metal that covers the drain hole. Use the pliers to gently pry the drain cover off.
