anyone know of any home remedies for fixing a slooow draining bathtub?

Answer 1

Draino or liquid plumer

Answer 2

hair gets caught around that stopper in the tub. It should unscrew or come apart some how. pull it out. If it's real bad, like mine was, I had to pull the ring you see where the water goes down. It takes a special tool that grasps the whole unit and you use a pipe wrench to twist it out. The hair ball was the size of a mouse and it took 30 years to collect that much. I removed it, and then put some caulk around the drain ring and reinstalled.
The tool looks like a dumbbell, about 10 inches long and made of aluminum or metal with a star pattern of both ends, different sizes.

Answer 3

If you are handy with tools take the trap apart in the drain. Most likely it's full of hair. It's very disgusting but that will most likely fix your problem.

Answer 4

Clean the hair out of the drain. You can try draino or liquid plumber too.

Answer 5

try some liquid draino. The foaming kind so it clings to the clog. let it sit for about an hour. run hot water down drain.

Answer 6

The the one that worked for me was liquid Draino Max. Just pour the whole bottle. It really works!!
Good Luck

Answer 7

Pour a cup of bleach down the plug hole, put the plug in and leave over night. Repeat if necessary.
Alternately use lemon juice/vinegar, but it will take a lot of lemon juice/vinegar, and you'll have to repeat it more often.

Answer 8

I use a wire clothes hanger and scrape all the gunk out of the drain.

Answer 9

For home remedies, you could use some baking soda, follow that, with vinegar so that it bubbles, let sit for a time and use hot water.

Answer 10

Take out the drain and clean it out! It's not difficult!
