The water drains from my tub very slowly. I have poured bleach and boiling water down the drain but it did not work. Can I pour bleach and boiling water down the clean out drian that is below the faucet. What can I do with out snaking out it out. Something I can do myself at home? It is frustrating.

I have tried. It doesn't come off. I will try again.

I just tried again. It is not a regular stopper. It is a pop up stopper.

Then it should spin out counter-clockwise.

Mom,
Take a look at the three stoippers I've put up. Do you see yours there?
On the overflow plate that I put up in a earlier post do you have a lever on it or is it bare? I'm having a problem understanding just how your tub's stoppered. To plunge the tub drain you do not have to remove the overflow plate, just seal it off. PLEASE explain in detail Exactly how you engage your stopper so we can instruct you on plunging it. Regards, Tom

I posted pictures I hope you get them. I'm really not sure how to post. Let me know. I will continue to check today for your replys. If you didn't get the pictures I will try again if you tell me how to post pictures.

But to answer your question. I looked at all 3 and picture 2 is my stopper.

Ya did fine Mom,

The pictures came through OK. Once more growler has demonstrated his plumbing knowledge when he advised," Then it should spin out counter-clockwise." It should unscrew and you should be ready to plunge as soon as you seal off the opening under the overflow plate. Good luck Tom

Tom thank you!!! IT WORKED!!! I saved money because of your help. You are a God sent to all of the internet world. I appreciate it. I just need to figure out how to screw the stopper back on. It doesn't seem like it want's to screw back. Again thank you! and I'm sorry for all the questions. If I ever have any more plumbling problems I will come to you. May God blessings continue to flow on you life.

Iamgrowler thank you! I'm sorry I forgot to thank you last night. I thought about it as soon as I opened my eyes this morning. Please forgive me. Thank you for your help. I didn't think I could get that stopper off and I did. The way I got it off is the way I get it back on? I know it should be easy but it doesn't seem to work by turning it clock wise. It just turns.
