If you don’t clean your bathroom thoroughly, you could turn your cleaning space into a Petri dish for bacteria. Oh, and don’t forget the gross clumps of hair that clog up your drain over time. This DrainWig 2-pack helps to keep your shower clean.

It fits most shower drains easily and lets you remove hair without touching it. It’s low maintenance and chemical-free. Use this and you’ll save money on plumbing bills you’d otherwise spend on unclogging drains.
