How-To Keep Your Drains Clog Free

How to keep your drains clog-free without chemicals! 

I love to clean, but I don’t like “gross cleaning”. The kind of cleaning that requires me to fish hair clogs out of the bathtub drain, that kind of gross cleaning.

This post is sponsored by TubShroom but the content and opinions expressed here are my own.

I have longer hair and every few weeks, my bathtub will start to drain slower and slower until I finally need to clear things up with chemicals. I really don’t like doing that, especially when I read the label. Eee gads, it’s scary, like zombie apocalypse scary.

I don gloves and safety goggles and follow the directions on the label, leave a note that NO ONE is to use the tub for at least 15 minutes, and then I wait until I can run hot water down the drain hoping everything runs smoothly and quickly. Sometimes, that works, but sometimes I need to go through the entire process one or two more times.

It’s annoying.

Super Easy Installation

I honestly thought that unless I wanted to go the totally icky fishing method of using a tool to pull hair out of the drain (OH MY WORD), this was my only option, until I tried TubShroom.

I wasn’t sure how or if TubShroom would work and I worried that it would be hard to install but it literally took less than 30 seconds to swap out my traditional mesh strainer for the TubShroom.

All I had to do was unscrew the middle screw, pull out the strainer and place the TubShroom in place. It sticks up like a mushroom cap and doesn’t slow down the water draining from the tub at all.

My tub is old so ignore the ugliness – it’s on the list of things that need to be updated, someday soon, hopefully. 😉

No More Clogged Drains

I waited a few days and checked it and it had done its job well. There was hair coiled around the base that it prevented from going down the drain and all I had to do was use some tissue to pull the hair off. The TubShroom was ready to go again and I put it back into place.

So far, I have only installed it in the bathtub but there is a SinkShroom as well that will be perfect for the bathroom sink.
