Unsung (Household) Heroes: The TubShroom Strainer/Hair Catcher
These are mushrooms…
And this is a magical 🍄 mushroom…
But this is the most magical mushroom of all…
It’s called the TubShroom, and it’s one of those genius “as seen on TV” doohickeys that’ll have you wishing you were the person who invented it, because if you’ve got hair, and that hair clogs the tub drain, this thing will revolutionize your life.
This little $13 miracle upgraded my life 1,000%. No, really! No more perpetually clogged bathtub drain, and the TubShroom isn’t gross to clean — hallelujah. Because we used to have a hair stopper that looked like a mesh hat, and before that another one that looked like a plastic disk, neither of which worked that well, and both would get moldy and gross and icky in a matter of days. The TubShroom never does.
I admit that it doesn’t look like anything special. It looks almost like one of those “buy-one-get-one” useless plastic kitchen contraptions that you see on an infomercial at 3 in the morning when you’re watching TV and eating a Hot Pocket, but it’s actually pretty ingenious and simple to use.
