My tub has been draining slow for a while now but I have not been able to get the drain stopper off to clean it properly. I finally got creative with needle nose pliers and this is the result:
I enlarged the revolting picture as much as possible just for you.
I can’t believe that giant mass was really in there. It represents two and a half years of shampooing with no strainer. I tried to remove the stopper and replace it with a strainer when I moved in but I can’t get the damn thing off.
If you have any suggestions, please pass them along. I searched the Internet and tried everything I can think of to no avail. It says “Premier” but I can’t find that as a brand. There is no nut at the base of the top turny part, no tiny screw at the top of the shaft. I find no way to pop off the top turny part to get to a magical screw people say may be hidden inside. I am stumped.
I have shorter hair now so it won’t build up so drastically but still, I need to get the damn thing off. Help me, oh wise Internet.
In the mean time, I’m just going to go throw up a little bit. Have a nice day.
