I agree that taking the trap apart is the best. In an emergency I have had success using baking soda and boiling water.

Okay,
So I took the trap apart and nothing in there! clean! but sink still clogged up not entirely but it takes time to drain!
I spoke with Newell mechanic and he thinks I might have partly kinked hose coming of the sink , trough our bed & under!!

I am going to take the bed apart ( bottom shelf ) and look for the hose and see if is kinked up from retracting in and out or perhaps clogged up down there! I was hoping this will be just easy fix right at the sink part...

les. so this sink is on the moving part of the slide? and they put flexible drain hoses on it?
