I’m so thankful for the internet. This video helped me after three annoying months of trying other solutions to unclog my bathtub drain. It feels really good to be able to help myself and learn skills without having to rely on others. Thank you for the clear and concise video, sincerely from a 22 year old trying to take care of myself.

[@thecircledance]

You're smart for learning this stuff young. I always had boyfriends most of my younger life. Now I'm a single middle aged woman and having to learn this stuff! It's stressful but it feels so good when I manage to do something and avoid calling a professional. And next time I'm in a relationship, he won't have to do everything for me, lol.

If you put vinegar down the drain, after the baking soda, it should react with any undisolved soda and bubble, loosening up debris and hair. Heck, pour straight baking soda down before the vinegar. It's amazing what that can knock loose.

[@GageDrums]

agreed thats what I do!

So glad it helped. I moved recently and did this exact thing on 2 drains here. Nastiness came out, but now they loo spotless and drain like new again. Chemicals are a waste of time

[@mattb9664]

I ended up buying the $40 Rigid drain snake that attaches to a drill. Its a high quality tool that works extraordinarily well and pushes all that stuff through. Best of all it saves you a $300 service call to clear our a stuck drain!

[@denisemaher342]

Hubby's got one, too....works wonders!!😉

[@macnchessplz]

Have one,used it,pulled some hair,etc out and it’s still clogged.Will be trying baking soda and vinegar tomorrow. Even drano isn’t helping much.There may be some causing it other than clog.

[@MRrwmac]

Thought for sure you were gonna pour in some vinegar after the baking soda, for the dramatic effect and cleanup….haha. Anyway, great video as always! Wishing you and your family a geeat 2022 year!!

[@simong5612]

This will work sometimes, good video. I happen to drain and sewer lateral clear professionally. What you really want to do is run a power snake with a pig tail head down if the clog is further down near the stack. The method shown in the video is great for cleaning p traps however.

[@etgrider77]

Can you put a bladder in it just to clean it for maintenance or will that flush any trash further in line and cause a clog?

[@JMitch93]

What about when that doesn't work? We bought a house that was vacant for 6 yrs and the drains are all muddy

[@jconsentino]

I have a drum trap and it gets clogged up pretty easily. I used a snake and pulled out a huge fir ball loaded with soap scum. I replaced my drain grate with the TubShroom. Probably the first As Seen on TV product that actually works. I clean plenty of hair off of it every week and thankfully it no longer gets down my drain. No issues in over a year.

[@RedNicole22]

Been considering that, good to know. Thanks for sharing.

[@juliesmith5567]

I have got one of those they very helpful also when someone washes hair at least it stays on top and when use in sink it sure is great idea 😊

[@doomzy8622]

Sounds Fun

[@Rocky-or4rz]

Great video, that is definitely an effective technique, baking soda and vinegar also helps break debris up with hot water, I'm definitely going to look for one of those brushes though, that's a good brush to have on hand for many different things I feel like

[@timmc6009]

Not drain related necessarily but bathroom related. 50/50 mix of vinegar and dawn dish soap. Best thing to clean your shower.

[@woohunter1]

Especially the glass shower doors!

[@MaxineShaw_84]

Depending on the size of the batch, 1:1 is a LOT of Dawn. I used to use a lot too, then started adding only about 4 squirts in a cup or more of vinegar. Still gets the job done with minimal scrubbing.

[@chrisc7265]

Those screws resting precariously next to the drain are triggering me

ALWAYS USE A HAIR SNARE OVER THE DRAIN WHEN SHOWERING TO CATCH EXCESSIVE HAIR AND PREVENT DRAIN CLOGS!

[@carpenterabc]

In order to reach deeper, I use a 14 gauge electric wire with a hook at the end, works great to pull up all that hair! Note, I hand spin it so it will go easily into the elbows and turns.

Soaps are made from oils. clean everything with dawn dishwashing liquid, cleans the soap crud that attracts hair ,dirt , skin, etc.

I was told by a plumber to avoid getting grease down the drain in kitchen sinks and to use Dawn and hot water to keep the drains free flowing.

​@@valvenator Yes, definitely definitely definitely do not pour grease and/or oil down the drain. I'm sorry that your plumber had to tell you that, but better late than never.

[@incubrian]

home depot sells cheap gutter guards that are a plastic with a mesh top. i installed those and havent cleaned gutters in years, or even had a clog because everything stays on top and the wind blows it off. in fall, you can attach a long tube to your leaf blower and really blow the heavy leaves off (if any), but its a remarkably simple way to keep gutters clean for good.

[@manuelweiss3904]

Very nice that you show how to clean a drain manually! The caustic sodium hydroxide with aluminium which is in almost every pipe cleaner destroys not only the pipes but more the water which will turn into our drinking water again. Effective and easy to use is also a plunger.

[@SilverCymbal]

I appreciate that. I have never used drain cleaners and never will. The only guarantee they have is to take a lot of money for people desparate for help. I hope this video helps some save some money and headaches.

[@HighTechLab]

Usually the clogs are from dirt and sand that settle in the bottom in the p-trap. The plunger creates a much faster flow rate through the pipe and then the slow dribble from the shower so it's able to stir up this dirt and sand and push it the rest of the way down the drain. My RV shower clogged after a trip to the sand dunes and all I did was put the hose that I was using to flush out the toilet tank into the shower and used my hand so that it created a huge flow straight down the drain

[@allancerf9038]

It works much of the time but not for very severe clogs. Still I appreciate the video because this has worked in the past for less severe clogs.

Good info...after all the cleaning I like to finish up w/ a 5 gallon bucket of water, with the screen left off and pour the stream directly down the drain. I think it helps and it makes me feel a whole lot better....also, these water saver toilets need to be flushed frequently which kind of negates the purpose of the "water saver" feature but if your home is on a shallow gradient, and some distance to the sewer line then you need to be moving all that gunk frequently to prevent clogs which back up to the shower etc.
