SinkShroom Revolutionary Bathroom Sink Drain Protector Hair Catcher Strainer, Nickel

First thing first it is made from plastic with a chrome paint on top but it looks no different to a stainless steel one. It has a clever design that fits perfectly into the drain leaving no gaps. I never realise there are so many hairs going down the sink until I started using this. No more clogged drains!

Expensive, but works.

Just perfect for what I needed. Sits proud from the plug hole so water can flows freely away yet stops anything else falling down it. Looks good and so such a simple yet effective idea.

It's doing the job, however I don't think it suits British standard sinks. It goes too deep into the sink and bllocks the water from draining properly. I also think it streched a bit with time, therefore it was better when I bought but now after almost 2 months it has sunk deeper and quite annoying to use. Idea is great and it does the job brilliantly, however with 'side effects'.

I bought this for my bathroom sink as my drainer for my sink was not working. I wasn't sure at first if it would fit as it looked too small and might not work as it should. It has worked great catching my hair from going down the sink and it's easy to clean

It worked at blocking hairs for a few months then it stopped. It looks like the plastic that suppose to catch them shrank with time. Maybe is designed this way so that you continue purchasing more? Not sure but surely it’s strange! In the other hand the stainless steel TubShroom ultra still going strong.

Does the job perfectly.

Unfortunately, I seem to have one of the very few drain designs that this “almost universal” design just doesn’t fit. Both my sink (and bath; I had the same problem with the tubshroom I ordered at the same time) have drain flanges which can’t be removed, so the shroom doesn’t push far enough in. The device does slot in above the flange, and it seems like it’ll still work okay as a hair catcher, but it is sitting much higher than intended so looks a bit funny and it’s not as stable as it should be.

I can't believe how many reviews here have the opinion of how this is gross and moldy and dirty.... CLEAN YOUR DRAINS FIRST. Buy a bottlebrush and scrub them. (you can get a bottlebrush for $1 at dollar tree) They are BLACK and DIRTY. Of course they are dirty, you spit bacteria in them when you brush your teeth, more bacteria when you wash your hands....hard water and mineral build up, conditioners, soaps, toothpastes, shaving creams....…….Don't expect to put this in a dirty drain and expect it to come out pristine with a few hairs on it. It works great but you need a little common sense and a tiny bit of effort. If you have too much iron in your water (city or well water) your shrooms may turn a pink color. This is caused by a bacteria feeding on the iron from the water. If your shrooms turn black, other than all the products you use that go down the drain, there is manganese in the water. EVERYONE has this, city water or well water, a water softener and filters will help with this. Take a cloth and rub the faucet (aerator) You will see the manganese (black). Look at your shower head too..... If our shroom turns an orange color, it is from the rust (most likely if you have well water) I do think that the MAIN reason your drains and the shrooms turn black is mostly from toothpaste, or the calcium in it. If you are brushing your teeth, make sure you rinse the shroom and sink REALLY GOOD or just remove it for tooth brushing. I did have a shroom in my son's sink that he never rinses......typical kid....and it did turn black. I took a 1" pool and spa chlorine tablet and let it soak overnight in a solo cup in an inch of water to remove the black.... DO NOT do this!! although it did remove the black to a much lighter color that is not gross looking .... The fumes were extremely offensive and it discolored/pitted the top of the "chrome" shroom. Remove the chrome shroom top before experimenting with cleaning agents and to avoid the fumes, do it OUTSIDE! an FYI to anyone owning stainless steel kitchen appliances, you should NEVER use chlorine in any room that has stainless steel as it will cause RUST... the fumes will do this, it is not necessary to apply chlorine to the metal itself!!! To the reviews that have stated that is "blocked" their drain...… CLEAN THE HAIR OFF OF IT and STOP SPITTING GOBS OF TOOTHPASTE INTO THE SINK while you have the shroom in!! I do love this product and I have owned it for several years in my tub, shower and sinks. As a side note, did you know that you can spackle a nail hole in a wall with toothpaste??? Yes you can!! Well, if that same toothpaste can dry and keep a hole in the wall closed, what do you really think it can do to your drains??? Please, clean them. UPDATE: I have noticed that all 3 of my bathroom sinks where we brush our teeth have overflow drains. When you look into the drain, there are 4 holes that come from the top of the sink overflow. When the sinkshroom is in the drain, the bottom of it hugs the drain just below these 4 drain holes from the overflow. I have never used the overflow from the sink for its' intended purpose. I didn't even know it was really there until I tried to do a very thorough cleaning of my drains when I suspected I might have drain flies. I then purchased a very pliable drain cleaning brush and meticulously cleaned them from the top overflow down, and then from each drain hole up. This took 2 days and yes, I am anal and I used my waterpick for a few hours with tons of cleaners..... You would be too if you saw the bio slime coming out of these overflow drainholes. This would not surprise me if I had drain flies living off this crap I removed from my drains. Here is what was happening. Any water, toothbrushing spit, mouthwash.......was never backing up into the sink. I had a nice flow always. It was apparently going into the overflow drains from the bottom up instead of through the sinkshroom holes and down into the drain. The funk that was growing in overflow drain was completely gross. Again though, I do believe that the problem was caused by toothpaste spitting which is usually thicker and foamy compared to water. If you have hair on the sinkshrooms, this will back up into the overflow drains too. You have to be mindful with these and I suppose they do need to be cared for more than I have. I honestly love the shrooms, and I am going to replace the sink and counters with one piece units without an overflow drain as I hate my counters anyway. I do not know if I will be using the shrooms anymore once I make this change. I may get a pop up drain and forget it. Who knows. BUT, I just wanted consumers to be aware of what is involved with this item as I recently found this out myself. You have to be mindful with this which does not work with kids. If you don't have an overflow drain in your sink, this is great, but NEVER have it in the drain when you are brushing your teeth. and still clean your drains. I have resorted to toothbrush spitting into dixie cups that get tossed into the garbage. I'm trying to be rid of drain flies now.... and I am NOT saying these caused drain flies. But, they will remain here if there is a food source for them.

This is almost 2 years. I have 4, I switch every week when I deep clean the bathrooms (I have 2 I use this in, this is just a weeks worth) I live in a busy house of 5 people 2 adults, 3 teens. The plugs in our drains were crap. We had heard good things about the sinkshroom. However, the original 2 I purchased through here are gone and the last 2, well 1 but the bucket a while ago and I have something else which works amazing and isn’t rubber/silicone that makes it so much easier to clean. The image is after a week of just hand washing. From my main 2 piece bathroom. To get it clean requires a little un in the dishwasher now, then boiling it and scrubbing with a bottle brush. The crap on there will come off with all that for the most part. Get something either all the way metal or plastic. It worked to catch the harp, but it is also difficult to get all the hair off. Unless you have incredibly long hair. Overall, in less than 2 years all 4 have been sent to the dump and I’ve purchased a much more sturdy east to clean one. Don’t waste your money on one’s like this. Even if low income. Save another month and purchase a sturdier one.

Simple. Nice Design. Fits bathroom sink well. So far so good. Wife's hair was filling drain. This seems to help collect the lose hair. Note - I had no drain plug system in the sink. The lever behind the faucet that can open and close the drain pieces was completely disconnected and the drain piece removed. If there are existing drain pieces in your sink - this may not work for you. Drain needs to be clear of all additional parts.

Buen producto. Facil de instalar. Cumple con su función. Fácil de limpiar.

I replaced all drain protectors in my home with this, it's simple, works well, and is super easy to clean. It's also priced very well. Just get it
