^^^ That stopper is nasty. I'd toss it in favor of a new one. But if the seals still work and you can stand the thing, I guess soak it in dishwasher detergent for a while and hose it off.

Out in the yard.
It was in good shape except for the hair and gunk in it. I cleaned it with hot water and compressed air, slathered it in Sil-Glide, and it works like new. The trap was clean. Apparently all the hair, snot, toothpaste spit and (shudder) got caught in the stopper mechanism.
Not sure what you mean by “tie wrap.” Zip tie? We use 1/8 wire rope chucked in a drill to clear VW preheat tubes. Something like that?
