It could be several things. Some might respond to putting chemicals in there, but many will not. Mechanical cleaning is usually the most effective and safe solution.

Disassemble and reassemble. You need to know how to do this in case you drop a ring or ear ring or something else in there. Some times it's as simple as a Q Tip that has caught a lot of hair. In any case, it's something that every homeowner should know how to do, and will save you $$$ by not having to call a plumber.

One of those little attachments you put on the end of a garden hose that give it a blast of water works pretty good, too, if you don't find anything in the trap. Cost, less than ten bucks.
