Tub drain?
+9
Daughters have long hair and I believe drain might be full of hair as it doesn't drain well but I have drain cover with holes not the normal kind, how would I clean all the clog or hair so it will be able to drain better?
Suggested Project Book
I bought at Home Depot a clog remover https://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwiy8ZmZzI_uAhWl4cAKHQrLDJIYABAGGgJpbQ&ohost=www.google.com&cid=CAASEuRo6GvPOpkT-CAo1Y1MZXCMFQ&sig=AOD64_2Lq53w-wq8fhC0t7HKP-YSjUvbuw&ctype=46&q=&ved=2ahUKEwivrZGZzI_uAhUQRa0KHUX9CO0Q9aACegQIFRBr&adurl=
also this works well too: https://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwiy8ZmZzI_uAhWl4cAKHQrLDJIYABAHGgJpbQ&ohost=www.google.com&cid=CAASEuRo6GvPOpkT-CAo1Y1MZXCMFQ&sig=AOD64_2jMHstq3CSwAr2WESLKlCmDK_cYw&ctype=46&q=&ved=2ahUKEwivrZGZzI_uAhUQRa0KHUX9CO0Q9aACegQIFRBT&adurl=
Try pouring baking soda in the drain. Then pour some vinegar down. It's possible the drain cover pops out. Drain cleaner would be a last resort
here is another idea too

Here's a link to some tools that are great for removing hair from drains:

Hi, can you try using a drain product. Your local home improvement store should have lots and they are great at breaking through hair.
See if you can grab the hair with thin tongs, if you can't get to it, then it may be best to dissolve the hair with a drain cleaner product, like Drano. The head out to the Dollar store and buy a drain hole screen, they come in a pkt of 2 with 2 different sizes. Look in the kitchen section. Just drop it in place.
I had to same problem and this is what I ordered. These are great, resusable and cheap also.

Hi MAS,
If there isn't a screw holding the strainer in place, and there usually isn't as far as I'm aware, you should be able to pry the strainer off with a thin, flat screwdriver. There are usually prongs that pressure fit into the drain to hold it in place.
Hi! My old one had a screw that held in place. I had to remove it and then fish it out with a hair grabber. They are inexpensive and available even at the dollar store. Stay safe and well!
Hi Mas, this video will show you how - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldcrlGwHt8g
Hell MAS,
If inside drain in sink etc, Use a bottle brush to remove the hair or use an old coat Wire hanger cut up to make a hook and push that into the drain and pull up. If external drain, Use a Set of Drain Rods to clear the problem. You could try using something like dran Buster in the drain to eat the hair etc. Best wishes.
Thank you so much for responding to my question.
