How do you clean a bath tub drain?

A majority of drain problems with tubs are caused by hair caught around the stopper assembly. Up on the side of the tub under the spout there is usually an overflow drain with a handle on it that you flip to hold the water in the tub for a bath. Remove the two screws and pull out the stopper assembly. It may be 12-16 inches long. When you pull it out, the accumulated hair will come with it. Clean it off and run water down the drain for a it to wash any left over hair down. Grease up the plunger at the end with any kind of grease, put it back into the drain assembly and put the screws back in. You should be good to go! You'll be surprised how fast it drains! Hope this helps! Any more info, just ask!How do you clean a bath tub drain?
Well, if its really bad you should get a drain snake or a ';zip-it'; You put it down the drain and it comes back up with all the stuff that has the drain clogged. Otherwise if its not too bad you can get a good drain unclogger to put the whole bottle down the drain and it disolves it and then the water runs right out of the tub like new!How do you clean a bath tub drain?
Depending on how the filter cover is set up, it should be pretty easy to pop off and put back on, use a snake if you have one, thats the best way to really get everything out of the pipe. You can get a snake pretty cheap at evil 'ol walmart, or your local hardware store if there is such a thing still left in your town. We still have a true value, and they really do have everything you might need.
They sell formulas in various stores that you pour into the bath tub and it cleans the pipe...if your talking about stuff that is stuck in the drain ...they have thin pipes out can buy to get into there...if your talkng about the outside of the drain use ajax bleach =]
Home Depot sells a long piece of plastic called a ZipIt. Will reach far into the pipe and pull out the clog. Remember that tubs have a removable ';clean-out'; cover that lets you get to the pipes easier.
you buy a small hand held snake. you pull the overflow cover off and run the snake down thru the overflow. you might have to take apart the trip lever on the overflow.
