Cleaning sink drains

After 2 years use, the bathroom (bedroom) sink is draining a bit slow, and has some minor odors associated with it. Time to run some Liquid Plumber through it, if it was a regular house sink and drain. Has anyone a recommendation for a product to use (or NOT use)as a drain cleaner for this sort of RV use?

Thanks

I have used a pair of very long sutures (like doctors use in surgery) to grab any hair and debris in the drains. That has worked fine for me. After removal of the "clog" water ran very fast!

At least once a week I pour a mix of white vinegar and baking soda down all my drains and have never had a problem with a slow drain.

PJ, we used a foam type drain cleaner I got at Walmart. Just be sure it says it can be used on plastic pipe (abs?). We've also used vinegar but the odor came back rather quickly so we went to the commercial drain cleaner.
