Hair is one of the main villains in bathroom drains. It tangles with soap scum and other debris, slowly forming mats that block water flow. You notice it as water starting to pool around your feet during a shower.
A simple drain cover or strainer sits over the drain and catches most hair before it goes down. After a shower, you just lift it, pull hair off, and throw it in the bin. Slightly gross for a second, but far better than dealing with a fully blocked drain later.
This tiny habit means fewer calls to plumbers and less standing in ankle-deep water while you bathe.
