At one time or another, we all have experienced a clogged shower drain, which can really be a nuisance. Hair, soap scum, minerals from hard water, and dirt are the most common culprits of a clogged shower drain, and removing them can be tricky and messy.
However, there are things that you can do to prevent the shower drain from clogging in the first place. First, you can minimize your use of oily personal care products. Vegetable or animal fats contained in these products can solidify over time.
It is also important that you clean your shower drain regularly to help dirt from building up. Pouring a cup of vinegar into the drain and letting it sit there for about 15 minutes before rinsing with boiling water will help eliminate dirt buildup; do it at least once a month.
Lastly, use a shower drain screen or filter to trap hair and other debris and prevent them from entering the drain. Luckily, shower drains come in many shapes and forms to match your bathroom design and preference.
