The $12 Amazon Find That Keeps My Shower Drain Clean and Clog Free
Probably my least favorite place to clean in my bathroom — and there’s a lot of competition in that department — is my shower drain. I have long hair and use a lot of different products in the shower, so the drain can get messy pretty quickly. To further complicate things, I have a flat shower drain, so I’ve struggled for a while to find a drain protector that wasn’t specifically meant for a rounded tub. But I think I may have finally found a solution: these disposable Shower Drain Hair Catchers on Amazon, which are actually mesh stickers. They’re affordable and disposable, and they save me from the dreaded act of cleaning the drain.
I decided to give these drain stickers a try after I saw that they have over 1,500 five-star reviews from happy customers. They’re super easy to apply, and the adhesive stays very secure for the recommended two to three weeks of use. You just put on the sticker when the drain is dry and remove it when it’s wet. And it catches everything.
You can choose a pack of 25, 50, or 100, ranging from $11.99 to $34.99. One reviewer wrote that the drain-protecting stickers work even better than expected. “Even lasts longer that it says,” this reviewer wrote. “I’m easily able to go 3+ weeks instead of 2 weeks like I planned.” And if you’re trying to lengthen the life of the sticker, I’ve found that you can wipe away the top layer that accumulates once or twice before disposing of the product completely.
Even if hair clogging your drain isn’t your main concern, these disposable stickers can protect against a lot more. One reviewer wrote, “They catch even the eensy beensiest thing trying to go down and block the drain — stray towel string, broken off body sponge pieces, ALL of the hair.” Bottom line? No more gross shower drain cleanup!
