To unclog a bathtub filled with standing water, first bail out the excess water using a bucket and a small cup until only a shallow puddle remains. Place a damp washcloth over the overflow plate to seal it, position a cup plunger firmly over the drain opening, and plunge vigorously up and down to force the underlying hair blockage through the P-trap. Callout type="warning" title="Hygiene Warning": Wear rubber gloves to protect your hands from contaminated standing wastewater. Verification: Run warm water to verify that the tub drains freely.
