Literally had this just happened to me tonight in the hotel. What worked for me with limited resources in my situation was gently knocking on one side of the drain stopper so that the opposite side will raise up a bit. However instead of using floss to go around the stopper, I used a safety pin to gently pull it up. Thanks for inspiring me to solve the problem :)

Amazing!!! I am a novice at fixing my household plumbing issues, and last night my drain plug was stuck. I didn't know it worked like a click pen (for some reason I thought it was just a suction mechanism). The mallet/stick version worked like a charm on the first tap. I used a cloth to protect the drain plug from getting scratched.

Mate, you’re a life saver. Had to do it slightly different though but pretty much did the wood tapping trick and it worked. Had no piece of wood but used a couple of chopsticks held together and no hammer but a pair of pliers as a hammering substitute. Also, I emptied the sink (had to use a towel to soak up the last of it) but the plug was just jammed in there, so I refilled it with hot water and tried it again, tapping the chopsticks with the side of the pliers aaand bingo, it popped up. Thank you mate, for making this vid. Cheers.

Had to progress through all of the suggestions before finally resorting to the dental floss and I'm here to tell you he's right... that's a tedious process. My seal was so tight it took quite a bit of effort and multiple, multiple tries to pull it off successfully but when I did I was grateful for the advice. One time it even popped up and then dropped right back down and I was like "dang!" but stuck with it and got it done. Thanks so much for the tips!

Great video and a great service to everyone with this problem. Thanks for posting it. While these tips didn't work for me, I did get it un stuck. Note: Mine was stuck hard. There was no turning it. Here's what worked for me, as nothing else did.... Pro Tip: I got a sink plunger The blue one with several ribs on the plunger..... Yep, that's the one. I pressed it down and then popped it up as quick as I could. The first couple of times it just barely raised the stopper, but after the third time, it popped it up. I then stuck it again to see if it could do it on the first try, and it will. You just have to get a good pop out of it. Note: While my stopper wouldn't turn at first, after using the plunger to barely pop it up, it probably would have turned from that point on.... What I found was the reason my stopper was sticking is because I had it tightened down all the way on the threads (not tool tight, but hand tight). That was too much for the poor machining tolerances and that caused it to bind when pressed down. So now I just barely loosen the threads on the stopper and it will open and close no problem. Now if any of y'all are into bees, head on over to my channel and let's have some more fun.

Thank you for this video, and thank you all for leaving your comments, sharing your experience. Mine was very stuck. Was discouraged at first, but then seeing others taking the time and patience in doing this, it encouraged me being persistent. It took me about 20 mins, knocking the rim of the stopper with a pair of attached wooden chop sticks and a hammer. It finally popped up a little. It wasn't all the way, so I continued to pray and tapping it, and added more WD40. Then I tried pushing it down a little, then it popped all the way out. Thank you!! Hallelujah!!

Here's another solution that I just used myself- If you have a floss pick instead of dental floss, you can use pointed end of the pick to slide it through the gap and pop it up a little. Then you should be able to use the floss end to pry it up the rest of the way, though that may take some struggling.

Absolutely amazing! I tried everything online and nothing worked. I used DW40 but didn't have any wood so used a piece of rubber and tapped the plug lightly with a hammer, used the tooth floss which came back with slug on it and used one of the plastic jar openers to unscrew the plug. I pulled out some more slug with a pair of tweezers and the drain ran perfectly. I checked my other bathroom and although the sink drain didn't have a problem I found beard shavings in it so will now check every so often. Thanks so much. You are a wizard. 🥰

Thank you so much < It worked!!! i removed the lid using a rubber glove .The pop up system is still stuck but for me removing the lid was more than enough

Excellent video - thanks very much. I had tried the WD40 approach, but had not used enough. After watching your video, I went back to the sink and gave it a good WD40 soaking - left it for a minute or two and then popped it up. After removing the cap, I then gave the "spring mechanism" inside a good soaking with the WD40 too - and popped it up and down a few times to give good lubrication. Thanks again.

I had to use the stick method but it saved me so much time, great video. The clean up one is good as well

Thank you! Mine isn’t pop up, but I watched anyway. Your using the blade and floss gave me an idea. I was able to use the blade to pull it out, and put a plastic phone cord style hair tie on it to keep from it getting stuck down again until I can replace it with something else. So thanks again!

I was almost at the point of drilling the darn thing out! But now I’m off to try all your tricks. Many thanks. Chris, Western Australia 🇦🇺.

So glad I found this video. I tried all 4 techniques. What finally worked was unwaxed dental floss and using my finger nails to wedge the floss under the stopper lip and was able to wrap it around the lip of the stopper a few cd
