But before you call the plumber, check to see if you have the proper tools to handle the job yourself.
You’d be surprised: These three easy solutions for fixing a stubborn (and nasty) clog can help keep your shower cleaner. All that’s required are the right tools (and good control of your gag reflex), and you’ll soon be able to enjoy your relaxing morning ritual once more.

Remember back in grade school when you made that paper mache volcano in science class? Well, we will be taking a page from school once again since baking soda and vinegar make for an awesome home cleaner!
The chemical reaction will help break up the hair and grime that has caused the backup in your pipe.
For a really nasty clog, you’ll need to roll up your sleeves and snake the drain. It’s easier than you think although still very gross.
For all drains, clogs are a slow drain of water typically caused by a blockage of organic material or fibrous papers. In the case of a shower drain, most of the time its hair and soap scum built up over time but after cleaning it out with some of these tricks preventing them can be easy.
Be sure to remove any hair build-up once a week and use the homemade drain cleaner once a month. This will keep the drains free and clear to run unimpeded.
