Step 1 · Prepare the Work Area and Gather Tools

Begin by ensuring your safety and preparing the work area. Put on your safety glasses to protect your eyes from any potential splash-back and wear waterproof gloves. Gather all necessary items: the correctly sized drain cleaning bladder, a garden hose long enough to reach from a spigot to the clogged drain, and several old rags or towels. Clear the area immediately around the drain, removing any bottles, mats, or personal items from the bathtub or shower to prevent them from getting wet or in the way.
