How to unclog bathtub drain

How to unclog bathtub drain
Hello friends,

Does your bathtub drain get clogged every other day? This time before calling a plumber, try unclogging the drain on your own. Mentioned below are some tricks that you can use to unclog your bathtub drain easily. Sure it sounds gross but unclogging the drain using these tricks will help save a lot of money too. Read on to know more about it. 

How to unclog bathtub drain

•    Clean the Drain cover and Stopper

Now if the drain cover is fit into its place by a screw then unscrew it, and clean it. There may be some hair or other things accumulated that led to the clogging of the drain.Some bathtubs have a stopper preinstalled. On those tubs, first put on the stopper and then twist it to unscrew it. Then look for anything accumulated under it. Clean and wash the stopper thoroughly to unclog the drain. Now put the drain cover and the stopper back on the same way you removed it.

•    Baking Soda

In a container, mix baking soda and vinegar in equal quantity. Mix it thoroughly and pour it into the drain followed by some hot water. Don’t use boiling water. Now use a plumbing stick to remove any clog stuck.

•    Hot water

If your drain is lightly clogged, hot water trick works perfect. It is recommended that you do not use boiling water as it may end up damaging the fitting used in the bathtub drain.  Just pour some hot water into the drain without splashing. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes and then use a plunger.

•    Drain Hook

If the reason your drain has clogged is hair or some other things accumulated in the drain cover, then using a drain claw works best. If you don’t won a plumbing stick, then you can straighten a hanger and use it. You can also use any stick. Just insert it into the drain and try to catch any clog. But don’t push it into the drain as it will end up clogging the drain even more.  

•    Plumbing Snake

It is a metal tool that most plumbers use for catching any clog or debris. You can get it from any hardware store. There’s a spring on one side and a crank on the other side. The spring side is pushed into the drain and it extracts any clog accumulated in the drain.

•    Vacuum the clog

Be sure to use a liquid vacuum. To prevent any mess, secure the vacuum pipe properly. On the vacuuming end of the pipe, put on a hose that will help catch anything stuck in the drain. Put the vacuum pipe over the drain vent properly, and then turn on the vacuum. This will work if some small things such as a hair tie, buttons are stuck in the drain.

Tips: 

•    If using the tips mentioned above doesn’t work, you should consider calling a plumber as the clog maybe accumulated from a long time.

•    Don’t use harsh chemicals or drain cleaners. It might work in that moment that it may end up corroding the metal pipes. 

•    Also if you use a liquid drain cleaner, wait for at least 6 hours before taking a bath, as after some time, the cleaner may seep up from the drain into the bath. 

•    Whichever way you choose to go, be sure to follow the instructions carefully.

Planning For Girls Nightout! Read Basic Steps Before Stepping Out


It’s saying that “Every girl is a different”.

Well, I think it’s true said!  There are some thing whether its nature, or personality or something else, it tie us together, despite of differences. 

Getting ready for a girls night out is truly a big task. No matter which place we are going but there are few basic steps every girl should remember. 

I love to take time while getting ready. Are you like me? 

Steps to follow:

Great hair:

Girl’s nightout is incomplete without having a great hair. Thus as soon as you plan for a nightout, do was your hair. Make sure your hair is dried so that you can get fabulous hair before leaving from your home.

Great outfit:

For me it’s more important as outfit makes your personality boost. We girls ransack our wardrobe thus to find perfect outfit is always confusing. How want to peep into messy wardrobe? I never wish to! Thus it’s always good idea to have conversation with girls in a group that how many outfits are needed. Do you wish to dress up in a tshirt in a nightclub? I heard No from many of you. Thus outfit for every event is important. 

Perfect dress for perfect selfie: 

After choosing dress by yourself, click selfie in front of big mirror and share with your friends and your mom to ask whether outfit suits you or not. Thus with mutual understanding choose perfect outfit for best clicks.

Other things:

Only choosing an outfit or washing your hair is not only things needed. You must also take care of accessories to carry with your dress, shoes to wear, makeup to apply and so on.

I love to look best in girl’s nightout. What about you? Do follow these simple steps before stepping out from your home. Hey don’t forget to carry handful of money!
