How to Unclog a Bathtubs Drain


Has your bathtub drain clogged itself? Don't waste your money on a plumber if you can clear it yourself! If your bathtub has not completely stopped up, you may not need to utilize any drastic measures. Follow each step sequentially if the preceding step does not work.
Removethe drain cover and clean under the surface of the drain. You will find that hair has accumulated underneath the drain, particularly if your drain uses a screw to hold itself into place.
Use a bent wire hanger or "The Drain Claw" to clear deeplyinset clogs. First straighten the coat hanger out, then make a hook in the end. Use it to pull out any hair and other particles that are in your drain. Pull the gunk out. Do not push it in. Pushing it in can clog your drain more than it already is. The easiest and most effective tool for a slow or clogged bathtub drain caused by hair is "The Drain Claw". You simply insert "The Drain Claw" into the drain, working your way around the opening or stopper and giving it a twist. With over 100 small interlocking hooks, "The Drain Claw" will grab hair and allow you to pull it out. Simple and effective. You can make your own "drain hair remover" with plastic strapping tape that is used for binding boxes or shipping crates. Just cut a length approximately 30 inches more or less and use your scissors to snip the plastic on both sides, creating "snags" for the hair and gunk. Insert down drain and push down drain. Remove. Run water to flush drain. This is a free fix with reused materials.
Use hot water. This works best if your drain is not completely clogged. Get a pot with a few cups of hot, but not boiling water. Carefully pour the water directly into the drain. Avoid splashing the hot water. Kettles are useful for easy pouring. Let it stand for 10 to 15 minutes before using the plunger. Many plumbing professionals now do not recommend using boiling water on the possibility that it may melt or liquify any sealants or wax or rubber gaskets used for the plumbing fittings or connections.
Combine 1/3 cup baking soda with 1/3 cup vinegar in a large liquid measuringcup, pitcher or bowl. Quickly pour the entire contents of the container down the drain. The faster you can do this, the better, because the fizzing action will gradually die out.
Use a plunger. Turn on the hot water and fill your tub with enough water to cover the clog. Pull with the plunger about 10 times to ensure that you fully clear the clog. The moving water underneath the drain will help to clear up the drain more quickly.
Try a "snake" that you can purchase at any hardware store.It is a spring steel cable with a spring on the plumbing end and a crank on the user end. It can go up to 15 to 25 feet down into the pipes, collecting debris. This is what most plumbers (by the time they're called in) get the most success with.
Use a shop vacuum. Remove the inside bag and filters. Set it up for vacuuming liquids. Be sure to cover up vent to prevent a mess. Put the hose on the drain before turning on the shop vacuum. When it is on tight and the vent is covered, have a second person turn on the vacuum. This will draw all debris up the water trap and into the vacuum. The clog occurred going down the drain. It will be more easily cleared drawing it back than packing it down.
Consider calling a plumber before using chemical products.. Drain cleaners contain caustic chemicals that will dissolve any clogging particles in your drain, but after a while will also corrode your metal pipes. If you do choose to use such a product, be sure to follow the instructions carefully.

Bathroom Mirrors Cleaning Tips


Is there anything more annoying than gazing into a bathroom mirror and encountering a streaky vision of yourself? Consider the problem solved. To clean mirrors, use a clean, dry cloth and one of the following solutions:
  1. Mix 1/3 cup clear ammonia in 1 gallon warm water. Apply it with a sponge or pour the solution into a spray container, and spray it directly on the mirror. Buff with a lint-free cloth, chamois, or paper towel.Vinegar may be substituted for ammonia.
  2. Pour vinegar into a shallow bowl or pan, then crumple a sheet of newspaper, dip it in the vinegar, and apply to the mirror. Wipe the glass several times with the same newspaper until the mirror is almost dry. Then shine it with a clean, soft cloth or dry newspaper.
  3. Mix 2 cups isopropyl rubbing alcohol (70 percent solution), 2 tablespoons liquid dishwashing detergent, and 2 cups water. Stir until thoroughly mixed, and then pour into a spray bottle. Spray directly on the mirror. Buff with a lint-free cloth, chamois, or paper towel.
