Cleanup takes just seconds: These strong waterproof hair stoppers only need to be changed every 3-4 weeks. SAVE MONEY, PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT – With this bathtub and shower hair catcher, there are no harsh chemicals damaging your pipes and the environment. A plumber visit can be costly, and drain snakes and liquid drain cleaners aren’t always effective. AWARD-WINNING, UNIQUE DESIGNS – The award-winning TubShroom famly of drain catchers now protect over ten million drains worldwide. SinkShroom, ShowerShroom, DrainShroom, and StopShroom products can save you hundreds.
The TubShroom Toss Disposable Hair Strainer is made to work on virtually any bathtub drain. Simply remove any stopper that may already be in place and stick a single waterproof degradable drain strainer in place, which will prevent loose hairs from entering deep into the drain. Hair is the number one cause of clogged drains because of the way long strands clump together deep inside the drain--forming a messy block that water can't get through. With this 21 pack, you can avoid touching the nasty hair by simiply lifting the strainer off the drain and tossing it out in the trash along with all the collected hair. Works great with both human and pet hair! Directions: First, clean and completely dry the drain surface. Then, remove any drain stopper that may be in place before putting the Toss strainer inside the drain. After several weeks, the strainer may be full, so you then have to lift the strainer off the drain for quick disposal.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the TubShroom Toss safer for my family than liquid drain cleaners?
Yes. The Toss is a physical mesh strainer that catches hair before it enters the pipe, so there is no need to pour caustic chemicals down the drain. This is especially important in homes with kids, pets, and septic systems.
Will my dog be safe in the tub if I am using a disposable strainer?
Yes. The mesh sits flat in the drain and does not pose a chewing or choking hazard when installed correctly. Many pet owners use it during dog baths specifically to avoid the clogs caused by pet hair.
Is the adhesive backing non-toxic if a child touches or pulls at it?
The adhesive is a standard waterproof bonding strip designed for bathroom use and is not a chemical drain treatment. That said, the strainer is a small disposable item and should be kept out of reach of very young children, like any bath accessory.
Is this safe to use in homes with septic systems?
Yes. Because the TubShroom Toss stops hair at the drain surface and is tossed in the trash rather than flushed, nothing enters the septic system that would not already be there. It is a much safer choice than harsh chemical drain openers.
Does the mesh contain any harmful materials that could leach into bath water?
No. The TubShroom Toss is made from a fine-mesh plastic designed for short-cycle bathroom use. It does not release chemicals into standing bath water the way drain-cleaning products can.
Is there any risk of the strainer coming loose and clogging the drain instead?
When applied to a clean, dry drain, the waterproof adhesive holds firmly under normal shower flow. As long as you press it into place and replace it on schedule, it stays put until you are ready to remove it.
Can I use this instead of drain snakes that can scratch pipes?
Yes. The Toss prevents clogs from forming in the first place, which means you can avoid mechanical drain snakes and the risk of pipe damage. Many long-time users report they no longer need to snake their drains at all.
Is the disposable mesh safe to throw in the regular household trash?
Yes. The Toss is designed to be discarded in normal garbage. It is a degradable mesh, so it breaks down in landfill conditions rather than sitting in a pipe causing problems.
Will this reduce the need for harsh chemical treatments in my home?
That is one of the main reasons people switch. By catching hair before it forms a clog, the Toss eliminates the need for periodic chemical drain openers, which makes the home safer for kids, pets, and anyone with chemical sensitivities.
Is it safe to use in a shower where someone with mobility issues steps in and out?
Yes. The low-profile mesh sits flush with the drain and does not create a tripping lip or raised edge, making it safer for elderly users or anyone with balance concerns.
Does this create any slip hazards in the tub?
No. Because the strainer is installed inside the drain opening, your foot does not contact it while showering. It does not stick out above the tub floor like some raised drain covers.
Is this safer for the environment than liquid drain cleaners?
Yes. The Toss is a degradable mesh that breaks down in landfill and never enters the water system. Liquid drain cleaners, by contrast, send caustic chemicals through your pipes and into the broader water supply.
Is the strainer itself a choking or safety concern if a curious toddler pulls it off?
Like any small bath accessory, the Toss should be replaced by an adult and is not intended as a toy. The mesh is flimsy by design, which actually means it is unlikely to cause harm if briefly handled, but it should be kept out of reach of small children during replacement.
Does using this mean I can stop buying toxic drain products under my sink?
Most users find exactly that. Once the Toss is on a regular rotation, chemical drain openers become unnecessary, which removes a hazard from the household and from your pipes.
Is this safer for pipes than boiling water or baking soda and vinegar treatments?
It is a different approach. The Toss prevents the clog from forming, so there is no need for any reactive treatment at all. That means less wear on older pipes and zero risk of thermal shock from boiling water.
I have a baby who bathes in the sink. Can I use the Toss there too?
Yes, the strainer can be installed upside down in sink drains to act as a small debris catcher. It contains no harsh chemicals, so it is appropriate for bathroom sinks used for infant care as long as it is replaced on a normal schedule.
How do I install the TubShroom Toss disposable drain strainer?
Make sure the drain surface is clean and completely dry. Peel the protective backing off the adhesive ring, center the strainer over the drain opening, and press firmly for a few seconds. The waterproof adhesive will hold under running water for the full 3 to 4 week cycle.
How often should I replace the TubShroom Toss?
Most users replace it every 3 to 4 weeks, depending on how much hair is being caught. When the mesh starts to look full or water begins to drain more slowly, lift the entire strainer out by the tab and toss it in the trash.
Can I reuse the strainer instead of throwing it away?
Yes. While it is designed for convenient single-use disposal, you can pull the collected hair off, rinse the mesh, and reinstall it if you prefer. Many users get weeks or even months out of a single strainer this way.
Will the TubShroom Toss fit my bathtub drain?
It is designed to fit virtually any standard bathtub drain. The mesh and adhesive ring flex slightly to accommodate common drain sizes, including 1.5 inch drains in older homes that often reject thicker plastic strainers.
Can I use this in my sink drain as well as the bathtub?
Yes. Many customers install the Toss upside down in bathroom or utility sink drains to act as a debris catcher. It works well for catching toothpaste, jewelry-stopper debris, lint from facecloths, and pet hair during sink baths.
What comes in the box when I order the 21-pack?
You receive 21 individually backed disposable drain strainers, enough for approximately one year of monthly replacements plus a few extras. No additional tools, adhesives, or accessories are required.
Is the strainer safe for septic systems and older plumbing?
Yes. The Toss is purely mechanical and contains no chemicals, so it is safe for septic tanks, PVC, cast iron, and older copper pipes. In fact, many users with old houses report that it dramatically reduces the need for chemical or mechanical drain treatments.
Will the adhesive damage my tub or leave residue behind?
The waterproof adhesive is engineered to hold during use and release cleanly when you pull the strainer off. It does not stain or permanently mark porcelain, acrylic, enamel, or fiberglass finishes when used as directed.
What is the difference between the TubShroom Toss and the original TubShroom?
The original TubShroom is a reusable mushroom-shaped strainer that sits inside the drain and has to be cleaned regularly. The TubShroom Toss is a flat, disposable mesh disc that is replaced every few weeks for zero-contact cleanup. Many users prefer the Toss for its convenience and lower-profile look.
