How do i unclog a bath tub it has a plastic shampoo cap?

My son drop a shampoo cap in the tubHow do i unclog a bath tub it has a plastic shampoo cap?
Try a shop vac.How do i unclog a bath tub it has a plastic shampoo cap?
Try using needle nose pliers to retrieve the cap, they are long, thin pliers that can reach into tight spaces. If you don't have that you can also wait until the cap dries - water will affect this method - roll a piece of tape onto itself so it is double-sided. Take a wire hangar and straighten it out, put an ';L'; shape bend at one end, attach the tape to that end (so that it has a larger surface are to adhere to) and see if you can push the wire onto the cap to stick to it and retrieve it that way (use can try gum too if you wish).





Try using the hose of your vacuum cleaner to get it - use the narrowest attachment you have to create the greatest suction power from it. Do you have a shop vac or can you borrow one? Those are stronger than household vacuums.





Don't force the cap into the drain - it may become lodged somewhere in your pipes, hair, etc. can get clogged behind it, creating a much bigger problem.
