If your sink stopper is attached to a pop-up assembly, you will first need to remove the pop-up. To do this, locate the retaining nut under the sink and unscrew it with a wrench. Once the retaining nut is removed, you should be able to lift the pop-up out of the sink.
To remove the stopper, simply grab it with your hand and pull it up and out of the sink. You may need to wiggle it a bit to get it started, but it should come out relatively easily. Once the stopper is out, you can clean it and the sink drain before replacing the stopper and reassembling the pop-up. If your stopper is not attached to a pop-up assembly, it will be threaded into the drain. To remove it, simply unscrew it with your hand (or a wrench if it is tight). Once it is unscrewed, you can clean the sink drain and replace the stopper. Be sure to screw it in tightly so that it doesn’t come loose again. Once you have reassembled your sink, you should be good to go!
