Fix a SLOW and SMELLY Drain | How to Unclog a Shower Drain
How to unclog a shower drain and get rid of unpleasant odors without chemicals!
A clogged shower drain can result in slow draining water and an unpleasant odor in the bathroom.
Is your shower drain slow, causing water to pool during a shower?
Is there a stale, mildewy smell coming from your shower drain?
Shower drains often get clogged with hair, which can trap soap scum and other organic materials that bacteria feed on, resulting in an unpleasant odor.
To solve this problem, any clogs need to be cleared and the drain cleaned so that's what this video is about.
I hope this video helps someone! I enjoyed creating the bacteria + organic matter = odor images 😊

**I don't recommend small mesh strainers like this one for shower drains. They catch not only hair, but soap scum as well, clogging quickly and needing cleaning after two or three showers: amzn.to/3YeYz5D
This strainer is a much better option: TBD - Currently under test.

BioOne Notes:
-BioOne contains live bacteria and is affective at removing organic substances such as fat, oil, grease (FOG) and algae. It does not degrade hair, but rather consumes the fats, oil, grease and organic matter which bind the hair in the pipe. Once the buildup is removed, hair should move freely through the line.
-This product will work more slowly compared to chemical drain cleaners since there's a biological process taking place. If you are using BioOne, it's best to avoid putting products down the drain that kill bacteria, like bleach, in the meantime.
-It's perfume-free.
