DIY Drain Filter: The Plumber’s Secret

You can create an effective internal drain filter with simple materials to stop debris from entering your pipes.

Materials Needed:

Steel sponge (the kind used for scrubbing pots)

String

How to Make It:

Cut the steel sponge to fit inside your drain without blocking water flow. Shape it elongated with points sticking out.

Tie the sponge securely with string so it won’t slip down the drain. Attach the other end of the string to the shower grate.

Make sure the sponge filters debris but still allows water to flow freely.

How It Works:
Every time you lift the grate, the sponge comes up with it, making it easy to remove trapped hair and debris. This keeps your drains clear longer and saves you from calling a plumber.
