Does anybody have any tips on clearing a clog in a bathroom sink vent/overflow holes? Just for clarity, I'm talking about the holes closest to you when washing your hands.

I got drain cleaning tools and shoved them in the hole...but it wasn't super effective. I was able to clear the main drain, so that's a plus.

This worked very well! I'm pleased with the results. The peroxide loosened everything up enough that I was able to scrape it out with the tools that I got for this task...ordeal? Certainly not a project.

It was kind of ominous hearing it bubble away though. Thought something was going to crawl out and be pissed off that I wrecked its home.

Nice! I'm glad it worked for you. Peroxide is very effective at breaking up biofilms, toothpaste, (biological) laundry stains. Once peroxide is done fizzing it becomes water, so I've been using it to deep clean kitchen gadgets too.
