To clean your metal shower drain cover, you'll need to remove it first. Depending on the type of drain, you may need to use a screwdriver or simply lift the cover off. Be careful not to scratch the surrounding area.

Use a drain snake or cable to inspect the drain and remove any visible blockages. If you encounter stubborn clogs, you may need to use a plumbing auger or seek the assistance of a professional drainage company like Blocked Drains York.

Place the metal shower drain cover in a bucket or container filled with hot water and add a cup of white vinegar. Let it soak for about an hour to loosen any mineral deposits and debris.

Use a soft cloth or brush to scrub the drain cover, removing any remaining debris and grime. For tougher stains, you can mix baking soda and water to create a paste, applying it to the affected area and letting it sit for 30 minutes before rinsing.

Once the drain cover is clean, reattach it to the shower drain. Run some hot water through the drain to test its functionality and ensure it's flowing freely.
