I have used general purpose shower drain cleaners from Ace Hardware, andseveral types from Home Depot, and Lowe's.The last one I use was the Enforcer 10 Minutes Hair Clog Remover.These mild liquids help a LOT for a week or so (or sometimes just a day orso) then the drain begins to drain very slowly again. I assume I am notgetting much "cleaning" in the first place.Is there a more powerful, specific brand that I might try next ? My drainis not stopped up, but is just slow.Thanks !!--James--

Hair clogs don't respond to drain cleaners because hair isvirtually indestructible, unless you use very powerful acidsand risk dissolving the waste piping too.,Might try a plunger; that works once in a while.You may have to snake it out.Jim

Recommendation for good shower drain cleaner ??

I've no idea. However, if you get one of those 25' snakes, that is housed in a spinner, you can go after your clog, and you will probably find out where clogs happen in your pipe. Keep track of the footage extended. Oh, yeah, where some protection!
