Remove Drain Stopper and Overflow Plate

What happens here

The first step is to identify the clogged bathtub drain and prepare it for cleaning. This involves removing the main drain stopper by pushing it down and twisting to unscrew it. Then, remove the overflow plate located on the side of the tub by unscrewing the central screw using a screwdriver. This provides access points for the drain snake.
