Using a Plunger

One of the most common ways to remove a blocked bath is by using a plunger. A plunger can help create a vacuum that will dislodge the obstruction.

1. Fill the tub with water until the plunger head is submerged.

2. Position the plunger over the drain and press it down firmly, creating a seal.

3. Pump the plunger up and down vigorously until you feel the blockage.

4. Wait for a few seconds or minutes, then release the plunger.

5. If the water begins to drain or the obstruction is removed, you have successfully unblocked your bath!

Using a Drain Stopper

Another effective way to remove a blockage is by using a drain stopper. A drain stopper creates suction that can remove the obstruction.

1. Fill the bathtub halfway with hot water.

2. Position the drain stopper over the drain and press it down firmly.

3. Wait for a few minutes, then release the stopper.

4. If the water begins to drain or the obstruction is removed, you have successfully unblocked your bath!

Using Baking Soda and Vinegar

Baking soda and vinegar are natural cleaning agents that can help remove the blockage.

1. Sprinkle a cup of baking soda down the drain.

2. Pour a cup of white vinegar on top of the baking soda.

3. Wait for a few minutes, then pour hot water down the drain.

4. If the water begins to drain or the obstruction is removed, you have successfully unblocked your bath!
