Clogged bathtub? No need to call the plumber: this product you have at home is just as effective

Gudrun Howell · October 4, 2022 ·

Above all, don’t stress! Indeed, many methods exist to unclog your bathtub using products available at home. Let’s discover them now!

Here are our DIY tips for unclogging a bathtub

These solutions are mainly intended for semi-clogged bathtubs and simple clogging. Let’s go !

  • Unclog the tub with baking soda and vinegar

Renowned for their culinary properties, baking soda and vinegar can also come in handy when it comes to unclogging tubs and sinks. You will need:

  • 1/3 cup baking soda.
  • 1 cup of vinegar.
  • Boiling water.

Prepare the baking soda and vinegar and set them aside. Next, prepare a pot of water to boil later. Then slowly pour half of the hot water down the drain, then add the baking soda and let it sit for at least 5 minutes. Meanwhile, mix the vinegar with the remaining water in the pot and pour it down the drain. Leave it on for about 30 minutes. Finally, pour hot water again.

  • Unclog the bathtub with soda crystals.

Often a tub becomes clogged from the buildup of grime and hair just under the drain. In this case, use soda crystals.

Even more powerful than baking soda, soda crystals are to be used if the blockage persists. To do this, pour two large spoonfuls of this product down the drain and then pour very hot water over it. Leave it to act for about thirty minutes or even overnight before pouring more hot water. Remember to use rubber gloves during all stages of this operation.

  • Unclog the tub with a bent metal wire hanger.

Get rid of your bathtub clog without using liquid drain cleaners or chemicals? It’s possible, just use your old wire hanger!

Here’s how: Look in your closet for a wire hanger that can be easily bent. Unroll it and leave the final part, the arched one. Insert the wire through the hook into the drain until you feel resistance. Push a little more and pull several times to hopefully remove the residue!

  • Unclog the tub with hot water and dish detergent.

It’s simple as hello ! Pour ½ cup of dish detergent down the drain and wait a few minutes. Boil some water, meanwhile. After about 20 minutes, pour hot water down the drain. Then use a suction cup to extract the dirt. There you go, the bathtub should then be uncorked!
