Gotta say, very helpful! I have a slow draining clogged tub for days now, and I finally looked this up online to see what I can do. U have given me confidence. The different stoppers and how to remove them was extremely helpful. Thank u very much for posting this. I am going to try it.

It worked for me...my vacuum nozzle wasnt big enough so I wrapped the end with a microfiber towel..I put my hand over the hole once...and the rest was pretty nasty hair ball...yuck..but it sucked up into my shop vac...cleaned up the tub and its good to go!!! Thank You for this tip!!!

Clogged bathtub drainby Mariero21322,763 views
Thank you for this video. We tried this without removing the overflow cover. We used a piece of plastic wrap to completly cover the the overflow. The suction from the vacuum held the plastic wrap in place to create an airtight seal. Then we just lifted a corner of the wrap repeatedly to create changes in the suction. Worked like a charm! Best of all, no chemicals or other tools needed.
