Re: [DIY] Bath Tub Clogged FIXED

Glad it worked, thanks for telling us. I, too, struggled with the idea of taking out the plug, etc. which was attached or something to the bottom, it is an old tub. Yes, that zip thing works wonder.

Thanks to everyone for their advice.

My wife really wanted to get it done today, so I told her to get the Zip It from Walmart as Subprong and Cindi suggested.

She said it worked perfectly.

I guess it was best to try the easiest thing first and work my way up. But thank you all for helping me out.

I can confirm this process. It has worked for me on a sink before. Despite me not being a huge believer in some of the home remedies, I saw this suggestion on the net and tried it. I think I had to go through the process of baking soda/vinegar/boiling water/plunging at least 3 times but surprisingly it worked...at least for whatever the issue was on my sink.

Sometimes baking soda & vinegar, followed with boiling water after it's set awhile will work. Pour some baking soda down the drain, add white vinegar and let it set for half hour or so then pour boiling water down the drain. You might follow with a plunger but it works surprisingly well if it's not too bad.
