Shower Tray Hair Traps.

Can you pull it all the way out? I can pull mine out completely and then just soak it all in bleach. It's a horrible job though

Yes, it all ‘comes out’, but it’s still awkward.

Never thought about soaking it in bleach though. It doesn’t seem bad enough for that, but thanks for suggestion, will bear it in mind.

You might clean yours more often than me

Same here. We’ve never had a shower unit before, always over-bath showers so this has been a learning curve for me. Why does the trap have so many nooks and crannies that get filled with gunk? Soaking in bleach wouldn’t actually remove that physically. It makes me feel 🤢 when I have to do it. I use an old washing up brush to get into the inside of the trap and spray it with the shower on maximum to wash it away.

Never thought about the problem but occasionally crumple up a dish washer tablet then pour some boiling water in. Leave till I remember them pour more boiling water down Job done. Mind you I have not got down and examined it too closely as knees would not let me

At one stage we had a minimum of three long haired females and one long haired male plus visitors blocking up the shower .
My trick -a good blob of hair removing cream will dissolve the offending hair .
