Materials Required

Baking Soda, Vinegar and a Water Supply.

Empty the Shower

Remove as much water as you possibly can from the shower tub or floor. If it will not go down the drain, use a bucket or cup to scoop the water out manually.

Take off the Catcher

Remove the catcher that covers your drain, dependant on the model they are all removed differently, it will most likely be screwed off, or just pried off.

Removing the Debris

Remove as much of the visible debris as you can. Use a straightened wire or coat hanger in the drain to remove any hair or debris that you can.

Cleaning the Drain

Pour around 200ml of baking soda down the drain gradually. Once completed, repeat the process using 150ml of vinegar instead. Once you have poured both products, immediately cover the hole. The mixture of chemicals will cause a eruptive reaction so ensure the plug is completely blocked using a plug. Leave the mixture in the drain for approximately 45 minutes.

Wash the Drain Out

Whilst waiting for the baking soda and vinegar to settle, boil a large pot of water. Once the 45 minutes has passed, open the drain and pour the water down slowly. If your drain is still clogged, repeat this process again.
