This really helped a lot, im in a house of 4 girls and my dad always called for plumbing people to come and do it which we always felt bad for, i did this at 2 am in the morning and it was not great to look at, but it definitely saved us money and time. Thankyou!

Thanks for the tip. Although, our shower was just recently remodeled, the shower drain is really slow, so I might try this another day and see if it fixes it because who needs a new modern shower that doesn't drain properly.

My Drain cover does not come off. I took a long plastic drain cleaner stick that has random pokey porcupine edges and tag teamed with a very long skinny drain brush and worked through the circular grate holes. I also used a tweezer to help pull when stuff got to the surface of the grate. So much hair and gross stuff. Thank you for empowering and making us brave! No plumber visit.

Exactly what I do, too, except I make a "T" handle on the other end of the hook, just in case the coat hanger wire slips from my wet fingers. BTW. he's fortunate that the grate is attached with screws vs. adhesive, like mine, so I use a fine wire w/hook to fish out the hair, Tedious but it works.

Not sure if you still need advice but you can buy Sodium Hydroxide, it can decompose hair and stuff in 30 min. Pour 50 gram of sodium hyrdoxide powder down the drain followed by 1 litre of hot water. After 30 minutes flush it with water and it should be good. Make sure what your material plumbing is you dont wanna decompose your pipes lol. That would throw the idea down the drain.
