I can't figure out why my kitchen sink drain keeps clogging. I've bought several bottles of Draino type stuff and they work for a day or two. But if I don't use my sink much in 2 or 3 days and then finally get around to hand washing my dishes (since I don't have a dishwasher) I find my sink won't drain again. Why is it clogging when it's not being used?

Although it's rare, it could be that the Kitchen Vent pipe is clogged, thus causing slow draingage, or now drainage. Could be that leaves have collected there, or bugs have built a next. Google "Kitchen Vent Pipe Clogged" and see if the articles there are helpful.
