BATHTUB CLOGGED??...BEST WAY TO REMOVE CLOG FROM THE DRAIN!!

What happens here

After attempting to clear the main drain, run water into the tub to observe if the drainage has improved. If it's still slow, the clog might be deeper or in the overflow pipe. To access the overflow, use a multi-tool or screwdriver to remove the screws holding the overflow plate in place. Once the plate is removed, insert the plastic hair clog remover into the overflow drain opening. Repeat the process of pushing it in, twisting, and pulling it out to remove any clogs present in the overflow pipe. Re-insert the tool as needed until no more significant debris is extracted.

Goal: Remove potential clogs from the bathtub's overflow drain.
