Unblocking shower drain

I think that the mesh /trap is a great idea .

I discovered Veet after the shower drain was blocked with hair from three long haired women living in the house !
I'd leave it in the drain overnight .

It sounds like my Dad's shower in his apartment.
I clean it out every so often for him, fortunately he doesn't have long hair!

I have ordered a shower drain cover from amazon - thanks for the idea - in fact it is hard to find one to fit as it is a walk-in shower with a large plughole that already has a solid cover on it, but it lets in water around the edges. I will try the one I have ordered and hope for the best.

Veet hair remover - put some down the plughole, it will dissolve the hairs in much the same way it does for hair on armpits or legs

Hair plug catcher.. on amazon.... no chemicals involved.. lasts forever.
£5 for 2, free delivery.

I bought a plastic mesh mat (like this one) and cut it to fit across the drain under the cap.
This traps any hair and I can clean it off easily each day.

Buy a drain snake at the pound shop or online. You can get all the accumulated hair out of the drain without using strong chemicals.

No, nothing works apart from physically cleaning out the shower trap and cutting hair shorter.
