If you prefer the DIY route or don't have a Universal Cleaner handy, here's the complete step-by-step process to clean shower drain effectively at home.

Step-by-Step Guide

1

Remove Drain Cover

Unscrew or pop off drain cover. Some twist off, others pull straight up.

2

Remove Hair Clog

Use needle-nose pliers or drain snake to pull out hair. Wear gloves - it's gross.

3

Pour Baking Soda

Pour 1/2 cup baking soda directly into drain. Push it down with brush if needed.

4

Add Vinegar

Pour 1/2 cup white vinegar. Cover drain and let fizz for 15 minutes.

5

Flush with Hot Water

Boil a pot of water and carefully pour down drain to flush everything out.

6

Replace Cover

Clean the drain cover separately with soap and water before replacing.

Pro Tips

  • Use a drain hair catcher to prevent future clogs
  • Clean drain monthly for prevention
  • Never use chemical drain cleaners - they damage pipes
