These are mushrooms…
And this is a magical ? mushroom…
But this is the most magical mushroom of all…
It’s called the TubShroom, and it’s one of those genius “as seen on TV” doohickeys that’ll have you wishing you were the person who invented it, because if you’ve got hair, and that hair clogs the tub drain, this thing will revolutionize your life.
This little $13 miracle upgraded my life 1,000%. No, really! No more perpetually clogged bathtub drain, and the TubShroom isn’t gross to clean — hallelujah. Because we used to have a hair stopper that looked like a mesh hat, and before that another one that looked like a plastic disk, neither of which worked that well, and both would get moldy and gross and icky in a matter of days. The TubShroom never does.
I admit that it doesn’t look like anything special. It looks almost like one of those “buy-one-get-one” useless plastic kitchen contraptions that you see on an infomercial at 3 in the morning when you’re watching TV and eating a Hot Pocket, but it’s actually pretty ingenious and simple to use. You basically just plop it into the drain hole, and it magically captures all of the hair.
SERIOUSLY, ALL OF IT. Doesn’t matter how long or short or whether the hair is human or non-human, as it’s also supposed to be good for pet baths too!
In the interest of full disclosure, I haven’t tested that “feature” yet with Tabs because I value my life, but if I ever had to bathe a highly hairy hound, for instance, I’m confident that the TubShroom would keep the drain from clogging.
It’s $13, and you can find it all over the place — Target, CVS, Amazon. I found this particular one at Marshalls.
Highly, highly recommended. You’re welcome. 🙂
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

July 21st, 2018 at 6:30 amOk I’m weirdly excited about this! I have a metal strainer that gets clogged and disgusting and stops draining after a few showers. Thanks for the tip.
Hope you have a fun weekend ahead!

July 21st, 2018 at 1:31 pmThis thing here… in a house with two full-time women and four part-time girls, this has been a game changer. Because ours is a house with lots of hair. I mean All. Of. The. Hair. I second your recommendation and so does my dad, the official drain-cleaner-outer of our house lol.

July 22nd, 2018 at 8:32 amOMG! That thing is the best thing since sliced bread! I have one and I can only say that it has improved my household life a 100%! No clogs, no mess, nothing! My tub used to be clogged almost every week, and I tried every contraption available in the market to fix. Enter this little mushroom into my life… #blessed!

July 23rd, 2018 at 10:16 amMy family thanks you in advance. I’m getting one, asap! At the rate my hair falls out, it’s a wonder I’m not bald. And I could have used it this weekend when we had to lather up my poor kitty, 3 times. The Hubs had been putting sealant on the porch roof and, since it’s too high for a ladder, he was going in and out through an upstairs bedroom window. Our curious girl pushed open the bedroom door, jumped out the window, walked all over the wet junk and then came back in and tracked it all over. The Hubs was more mad about the carpet – I was worried she would ingest the toxic stuff and be sick, or worse. Anyway, long story, longer – there was a mountain of hair in the tub and sink. Thank goodness she’s so easy going. All seems to be well. Clean up would have been easier with the shroom, though!

July 23rd, 2018 at 3:53 pmThis is so funny Karen!! We use one of those TubShrooms too!! We’ve had so many problems with the drain being slow in our bathroom. It was all about hair…LOL!!
We used the little drainer thing too. My daughter and I couldn’t stand that thing, but my husband insisted that we use something, because he was the one unclogging the tub every few months. So glad we got the TubShroom!! That thing is magical!! Hee Hee!!

July 27th, 2018 at 9:20 pmI lose a lot of hair, this thing is a keeper for sure. I just wish I didn’t have to clean it after every two showers. I have a white one, I think I’d like a blue or green one.
