Indeed, there is no avoiding it: here\u2019s how to clean and maintain the drain of your shower tray.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It’s there but you can’t see it: the dirt that builds up under the drain strainer of your shower, the one you’d never want to clean. Here’s how to clean and maintain the shower drain: after reading our tips, keeping it clean will be a breeze.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the\u00a0care and maintenance<\/a> section of our blog we discuss how to clean the different parts of the bathroom. We have discussed how to maintain a clean shower enclosure<\/a> (shower tray and screens), and today’s post addresses how to clean the shower drain strainer and drain pipe<\/strong>.

Unlike older, traditional ceramic models, most modern, designer shower trays <\/a> are not fitted with a fixed metal drain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For aesthetic reasons, in modern shower trays the drain pipe is concealed by a drain strainer that typically matches the shower tray’s material (and colour); the shape is determined by the design of the shower tray (round, square, full-length). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To inspect and clean the drain you first have to lift the strainer to gain access to the drain, which itself typically consists of a removable plastic drain body and non-removable components underneath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
