Questions

Should I use drain cleaner?

Use it sparingly and never mix products. If one treatment doesn't clear it, call a plumber, as strong chemicals can damage older pipes and are hazardous for whoever opens the trap.

What causes kitchen sink blockages?

Mostly fat, oil and food scraps that set in the pipe. Wipe greasy pans with kitchen roll before washing them.
