TubShroom Bathtub Drain Hair Catcher – In-Drain Tub Strainer & Clog Prevention Protector, Fits Standard 1.4”–1.75” Tub Drains, Easy Clean, Captures Human & Pet Hair out of Sight (Green)

I’m really impressed with the TubShroom Bathtub Drain Hair Catcher. It’s simple to use, fits neatly in the drain, and does a great job catching hair before it causes a clog. Cleaning it out is quick and easy, and I appreciate that I don’t have to use harsh drain cleaners nearly as often. Such a small product, but it makes a noticeable difference. Definitely worth it!

This is gold!!!! Seems so simple but boy is it effective. Who’s the genius that thought of this?? It pops in the drain, easily removed for cleaning. And, it catches every loose piece of hair that may fall from any part of your body. It’s amazing! I had know idea we shed so much. Which means our other drain plugs weren’t up to par. Which also explains why I had to clean the drain so often. Buy these as stocking stuffers, secret Santa gifts or a treat to yourself. Make one of your cleaning tasks easier.

I had previously purchased a metal version of the TubShroom and was very disappointed. It got clogged very often and was very difficult to clean. I thought my drain may have been at fault for the clogging, but I tried switching to the rubber TubShroom and the difference is night and day. It takes way longer for there to be any clogging, and it is a million times easier to clean. I also believe it catches hair way better than the metal one. I couldn't recommend this enough.

I got this TubShroom on "Prime Day" when it was a lightning deal or something. I didn't even really know what exactly I was buying but it had good ratings and I really needed something to stop all the hair that my husband and I, as well as our Yorkie who gets bathed weekly, shed from going down the drain. I had been using a metal strainer type thing and it was sickening and also clogged so fast that water would start to build up during a shower and I would have to reach down and remove the strainer and just let the water flow freely (along with all the hair and other yucky stuff). When I saw this thing, I thought it was never going to fit. I put it into the drain hole and it stuck up a little ways and I thought it was ill fitting. Finally I decided to actually read the instructions and saw that is normal. So I left it in the drain and continued on. Water went down freely and didn't cause any sort of shallow pond when we showered. But then yesterday, it seemed sluggish going down. I pulled out the TubShroom and YIKES. I think a wig could have been made from all the hair in there. There was also remains of body wash or shampoo or something mixed it. Not pretty. I let it dry for a few hours because the introductions say that you can simply wipe the hair off if the shroom is dry. I wasn't able to do that. I was able to get the stuff off fairly easily but not in one little swipe. I gently cleaned it and put it back. I made a mental note to check the shroom every few days so it doesn't block the water flow. I think it is great. It looks silly, especially since I bought blue, but it does work. I took a star off because we can't go a full week with the shrrom in. It has to be cleaned every 3-4 days. I also can't just simply wipe the junk off in one easy step. But it isn't like I have to pull the hair and junk off in little pieces. It does come off pretty well especially if the shroom is dry. I think it is helping to keep our drain from clogging and I hope it holds up for a while. I don't mind that it is sort of ugly. It does the job.

I was honestly surprised by how effective this little thing is. I’ve tried flat drain covers before, but hair would always slip underneath and eventually clog the drain anyway. The TubShroom design works much better because it sits inside the drain and wraps the hair around the center instead of letting it pass through. Installation took less than a minute and it fit my standard bathtub drain without any issues. Water still drains normally, and cleaning it is way easier than digging hair out of a metal screen. You just pull it out, wipe off the hair, rinse it, and put it back in. It also keeps the hair mostly out of sight, which is a nice bonus. After using it for a while, I’ve noticed far fewer drainage issues and I haven’t had to use drain cleaner at all. If you have long hair, pets, or just want to avoid future plumbing problems, this is a simple and inexpensive solution that actually works.

When I lived in an old Victorian, my wife and I had a threaded drain cover in our late - 1940’s era tub. And it was always up to me to clean it, including clearing the drain pipe of hair, glued together accumulated soap scum, on account of the hard (artesian well) water in our area. The Tubshroom to the rescue ! It simply works ! Yes, your results may differ, so that will depend on occasionally (for me, every other day) removing it, wiping it clear of soap residue and miscellaneous hairs, and dropping it back into place. I like that when it stands on the stripped threaded base in the drain pipe, the top crests just above the drain line, as a Tubshroom should. No regrets ! To keep your Tubshroom looking good, an occasional bath in a glass jar of straight bleach will keep it looking as good as new for a long time. Not a huge investment; it was well worth it !

Does the job but not the best to clean. I haven’t been able to find just a circular cover that is able to lay flat and catch all the hair that goes down. But I think I’ll try and look again bc this thing is not ideal to clean

TIME OWNED: 5 days at time of review [Updated below after 4 months, including in doggo baths!] OVERALL THOUGHTS: I've tried a ton of products to prevent lots of hair going down the tub drain because I shed so much. This one is very easy to install/remove for easy cleaning, without being big and obtrusive, and it catches a lot while hiding all that hair out of sight. I find it's best to clean it frequently and do clean mine almost every day, but it's a simple routine. This is my new favorite hair catching solution and I've stopped looking at others, for now. We'll see how it holds up. --- FULL REVIEW: Long story short, I shed a TON of my thin-but-numerous hair in the shower and it's an annoying and expensive problem, so I've been dedicated to trying products and finding a good solution for about 9 months now. Of course I can't tell if anything slips by this shroom but from what I see, it works very well to snag a ton of hair while still draining very well. The photo shows the amount of hair caught after I "pre-shed" my hair with a comb first and then took a shower (and the hair/shroom was left to dry overnight). It's also very easy to install and remove for cleaning, though I am worried about it getting moldy if left in place too long (as so many other products I've tried have done), so I have a routine I do daily to clear it out and hopefully help stave off mold as long as possible. But it's quite easy. MY CLEANING ROUTINE: 1. Turn on the water and shower/bathe as normal. 2. Before getting out of the tub to dry off, remove the shroom from the drain. Don't clean it yet!! Just leave it in the tub or put it on the edge, etc. 3. Leave it to dry overnight/until your next shower. 4. Before turning on the water for your next shower/bath, empty the DRY hair from the shroom out over the trash can. 5. Put the shroom back in place and you're back to Step 1. I find the hair (and the gunked up soap/shampoo/etc. that also inevitably gets caught) annoyingly sticks to your hand/the shroom when wet and everything drips when you move to the trash, so I just prefer to clean it when it's had a chance to dry, even if it's just a bit. You could leave the shroom in place to dry if you like! But like I said, I'm hoping pulling it out to dry faster will also help delay some of that moldy build-up as well. We'll see! MENSTRUAL CUP USERS: Because it's so easy to remove, I find it's great for when I need to empty my cup. It's just a quick added step! Clean the shroom (Step 4) but DON'T replace it just yet (Step 5). Instead, put it somewhere handy like on the edge of the tub or a shelf in the shower stall. Then turn on the water and get in the shower as normal, emptying your cup first thing. THEN replace the catcher (Step 5) and take your shower. This just makes it a bit easier than trying to fiddle with the shroom after you take your cup out and you have your hands full. ;) (And of course lets you more cleanly empty your cup directly into the drain with no obstructions.) CONS: None so far, but I'm keeping an eye on these and will be back to update if something goes amiss... - how durable it is over time (since cleaning it out frequently is best, I'm curious how long the silicone "feet" can handle the friction as it repeatedly rubs on the drain with removing/replacing it daily) - whether it starts to accumulate any mold (it's something lots of people here have mentioned but has also been my experience with every other product I've tried since, you know, water and gunk, so it's not unexpected... I just hope it's not too quickly) - how long I can go without cleaning it out (I've gotten used to cleaning these hair catchers out every day, so was doing that with this on autopilot to start. And it just seems best overall with the nature of these things. But I do want to experiment and see how long it could go before draining starts to clog.) --- Update 4 months later. Still works great and no issues. - Silicone is still in great shape with no tears or wear - No mold yet, though it has discolored but is probably not the item's fault (some of it is probably from rinsing hair dye in that shower, and the rest is probably Serratia Marcescens/iron... there's nothing to indicate any other changes that would be an issue) - With the amount of hair I lose in the shower, I can go about 3 days without clearing it before it affects drainage (I still prefer to clean it out daily but I experimented just to see heh) - I have a second one in the guest bathtub where the dog gets her monthly baths and it catches tons of her hair as well, which is considerably shorter than mine. Again, not sure if it does actually let anything slip by but it at least catches a good chunk that would otherwise go down the drain so I'm very happy with using it there also! --- Final update! So this did finally get moldy after about 7 months, though it might have been from neglect! We suddenly had to go away for 2 months and I forgot to remove it like I usually do after taking my shower right before we left. It was fine when we got back but then developed mold a couple weeks later, so I'm assuming the trip had something to do with it but can't be sure. Since I had to replace it, I decided to try their stainless steel version. It's been great for 4-ish months! But I do much prefer the overall design of this one, specifically the top. The stainless steel one has "claws" on the top that trap hair and make it very visible, whereas you never see it with this one. The stainless steel one also clogs much quicker! As I mentioned, I can do about 3 days with this one before it starts to drain slowly but the stainless steel one slows down drainage while I'm still in the shower the first day! Granted, I lose a lot of hair in the shower but still. When I eventually need to replace the stainless steel one, I'll be coming back to this one (and cleaning it out daily), even if that means replacing it every 8 months.

Este filtro es perfecto para el desagüe de mi ducha. A menudo se atascaba con el cabello pero desde que lo compré no he vuelto a tener problemas. Es flexible y se pone, se retira y se limpia fácilmente. Excelente producto y muy resistente.

فعلا رائعة وعمليه

very good material and it catches all hair ... suitable for bathtub drain highly recommended مادة جيدة جدًا وتلتقط كل الشعر ... مناسبة لتصريف حوض الاستحمام موصى به للغاية

J'en ai acheté un que je n'ai changé qu'au bout de 3 ans, ce petit accessoire retient vraiment tous les cheveux, poils et débris à la perfection ! Il est facile d'en retirer les cheveux, en revanche, dans la durée, les petits trous sont un nid de choix pour les bactéries, on remarque un dépôt de biofilm (ce film noirâtre et un peu gluant qu'on a aussi dans les canalisations) qui est un peu fastidieux à nettoyer (brosse et javel sont la meilleure solution que j'aie trouvée pour l'instant). Dans l'ensemble, c'est quand même un super produit.

Utilizo este producto para evitar que mi tina se llene de pelos de mi perro cuando lo baño. He utilizado otros tipos de rejillas, pero normalmente se tapan en cuestión de segundos y termino con la tina llena y sin forma de juntar los pelos de mi perro. Con este tapón, pude bañar a mi perro sin ningún problema y posteriormente juntar todos los pelos en un solo lugar y en cuestión de segundos. El tapón se adapta perfectamente al espacio de mi tina, es bastante higiénico y estéticamente bastante agradable. Sin duda alguna lo volvería a comprar.
