Sunday Randomness #284 : Simple cheapo plastic snake shower drain cleaning

 Take cover off drain by taking out the screw(s).

 Remove hair that is trapped at the top.

 Get out cheapo plastic drain snake thing.

Use snake by twisting to catch hair and debris and slowly and carefully pull out.  Be prepared to plug nose.  Carefully disentangle gross wad of matted hair gunk and throw in the garbage. (It's easier if you have gloves or a cleaning wipe [baby wipes or cleaning wipes both work well] and pull the gunk up past the teeth of the snake and then just pull it away.)  Clean snake thoroughly.  Put drain cover back on and screw into place.  Run some water to make sure the drain is clear.    We usually have to follow this procedure about every three to four months but it's cheap and effective so I'm willing to keep doing it.  I also scrubbed some of the floor with cleaner and a toothbrush but I really need to clean it more thoroughly and recaulk some areas.
