Step 7 · Clean the P-Trap

Place a bucket or basin directly underneath the P-trap to catch any water and debris. Loosen the slip nuts on either side of the P-trap using pliers or a pipe wrench. Carefully remove the P-trap. Empty its contents into the bucket and clean the inside of the trap thoroughly with a brush and water. Reassemble the P-trap, ensuring the slip nuts are tightened securely, but do not overtighten. Run water to check for leaks.
