What is the best way to remove cat litter from the bathtub drain?
I kept the cat litter box in the bathtub and then one day the plumbing clogged in another bathroom and water got into the tub. Alot of the litter went down the bathtub drain before I could catch it. I've poured hot water to try and clear it. I've also let it dry and then tried to suck it out. The drain is PVC pipe, not cast iron. Recommendations for what can effectively remove the litter without harming drain are appreciated! Thanks!!

Whatever you put down the drain, the cat litter will absorb!, Best to call a plumber in to undo the ubend under the bath and retreive the stuff. Maybe you could disintigrate it with a Drain Block substance yourself?
To remove cat litter from the bathtub drain, you can try the following steps:
Remember to use caution when removing cat litter from the bathtub drain, as the litter can be sharp and may cause damage to the plumbing.
Mix one part white vinegar with one part water in a spray bottle and spray the hardened litter evenly. Allow it to sit for a few minutes. Add more vinegar and water if the litter absorbs some of the liquids. After a few minutes, that hardened litter will loosen and scrape off the surface easily.
Depending on how bad this is is could need to be repeated several times until you reach the desired effect.
