I was shopping for a replacement for my bathroom sink drain stop when got broken. I came across the Sink Shroom during that search and decided to give it a try. At the time I bought it I was more concerned with finding something to temporarily block things from falling down the drain if accidentally dropped, but It turned out to be a handy replacement for two reasons.
Not only does it fit easily to keep unwanted things out if the drain but it keeps the hair out of my drain too. My daughter and I both have long curly hair that always ends up in the drain no matter how much we try to avoid it. I used to have to use a long tool to dig those clumped up nasty strands out of the drain every week. The Sink Shroom catches those rouge hairs before they end up down deep in the drain.
The middle of the Sink Shroom is a tube of sorts with holes in it that allow water to run into the tube and down the drain as the hair gets caught by the “shelf” at the bottom and wraps around the center. The top “shelf” blocks other things from going down the drain.
Each week now all I do is take it out of the drain and use a Clorox wipe to pull the hair off and wipe off the Sink Shroom.
1 Star deducted because
1) over time black slime builds up. I’ve soaking overnight in bleach but it won’t come off. I ended up buy new after 1 year because I can’t stand the yuck after so long.
2) the drain empties slower then it could. This happens mainly because the bottom shelf if larger for my drain than needed. It does fit because there are strategic cuts in the silicone that allows the round shelf to bend upward on top of itself just enough to get a tight seal that fits well in my smaller drain. the bending also makes the holes in the shelf smaller due to over lap which really can slow down allowing less water to flow through. This is especially true as hair gets captured and starts to build up on the shelf. It would be nice if they could figure out a way to fix this issue as it would help eliminate a lot of the black slime that builds up too.
I’d still recommend this product though. I’ll buy a new one every year if I need to.
Best buy on the intranets.
There’s not many things you can purchase nowadays that are affordable, work as advertised, and function as designed right out of the box.
My wife and I live in an older home on septic. Not wanting to use liquid drain cleaners, we decided to give the tub shroom a try. What a perfect solution.
We were so impressed, we decided to try the sink shroom in our utility sink that our washer empties into. We use metal washing machine lint traps and I thought that they were doing a pretty good job. I have to change them out at least once a month. On a whim, we tried the shrink shroom in the utility sink. Wow! Now, the lint traps do fairly well, but I couldn’t believe what the sink shroom was picking out after the lint trap. Who knows how many years this will add to our septic system, not to mention not having to snake the drains.
Today, as I am writing this, just got finished snaking the bathroom sink. Promptly ordered another sink shroom.
Seems to be working well and is an improvement over the tiny mesh basket style I had before. Slimy spit from brushing teeth still gets hung up and can slow down the drain, but way less than the basket as the holes are pretty big. I try to flush with extra water when I think it might get hung up. I would probably pull it out to hock a loogie or expect to be pulling it off later along with the hair. Seems like a winner!
I purchased 2 tub shrooms about a year ago and I absolutely love them! I have long curly hair that is constantly shedding everywhere and I've never had to deal with a slow draining or clogged tub/ shower... so when I recently noticed that my sink was draining very slowly I knew that the sink shroom would be the perfect Solution. The only negative thing I can say about the sink shroom is that if your sink drain currently has a built-in stopper you are going to have to ask hubby to go underneath the sink and remove it before you can install you sick shroom, unless you have a little bit of Plumbing skills yourself... overall this these little rubber stoppers are an amazing durable product and I think everyone should own a few 😁
Our daughters' sinks clog easily, and this has been a lifesaver! They're so easy to clean and will prevent further hair clogs in the drain. The only negative I've seen is that the drain is open when you pull this out to clean it, leaving the potential for someone to drop an earring or ring into the drain, but that risk is worth not having to fish out a soggy, ferret-looking clog of hair every few months!

Description
We face a myriad of challenges each and every day. Cleaning clogged drains no longer has to be one of them--thanks to the revolutionary new SinkShroom. SinkShroom fits snug inside your bathroom sink drain, all calm and collected, effortlessly gathering each and every hair that tries to make its way down your vulnerable drain. It even protects against rings and other jewelry falling into the drain. It's the hero you deserve in your bathroom.
The Sink Shroom arrived quickly. It fit the sink. It helps keep the drain running. We have an older sink and it was difficult to find a strainer that worked with our sink. This one is flexable and fits well.You just remove it and clean it when the drain starts to drain slower. I would recommend it.
I like the sink shroom as long as its new. Lasts between 1-3 months before it gets super gross, and needs replacing. You’re supposed to be able to clean them but I’ve never been able to get it satisfactorily cleaned once all hunted up with scum and mold. Before it gets to that point though it’s a great solution to a drain with no stopper/catch and it does in all fairness catch a good amount of hair, so it does it’s job. Just gets super frickin nasty after a while. I buy multiple at a time so I don’t have to constantly reorder every few months or so.
These are awesome for keeping hair from clogging your sink. My bathroom sinks get clogged every few months and I need to have a plumber unclog them. These have worked for a year so far. Just take them out, clean off the hair and gunk and put them back in.
The only bad thing is they are rubber so they don't look as nice but at least my sinks work again.
I have long, thick hair and shed quite a bit. I bought the TubShroom after trying various hair catchers (often having to toss them after a few months because they became too difficult to clean). The TubShroom was a game changer! We don't have much counter space in our bathroom, so hair from my husband shaving and my hair from styling it tends to end up in the sink. My husband started complaining about the clogged bathroom drain, so I bought this to see if it worked as well as the TubShroom, and it does! We haven't had a cloggged drain since!
This item is totally amazing. The guy who installed our sink did not properly install the stopper. We have been fumbling around and finally saw the SinkShroom. I have to admit that I thought the top portion would be hard plastic with the under portion being silicone, however, it is all silicone, and it is fine. I thought it was a little pricey, however, it definitely works
