Warning: This article contains… Well, really gross images and clips.
We all know that keeping a tidy home can be a bit of a challenge. Even if you're thorough when it comes to cleaning, there are just some spots that are nearly impossible to keep spotless – and the last thing anyone would want is to have to clean something more often than usual.
One such cleaning nuisance is a popular feature in Australian households, which was dubbed a ‘nightmare to clean’ by a professional cleaner. Here’s why you should steer clear of having it installed in your home at all costs.
The cleaner, who goes by @cleanlikeapro on TikTok, shared a clip of herself attempting to clean a filthy shower drain in someone else's home.
'These shower drains are the worst. I would never have these in my home. They are a nightmare to clean!’ she said.

'Brace yourself. Here's another thing I will never have in my house from the perspective of a professional cleaner. These drains... Oh my! I actually have no words.’
'They trap everything and as you can see, there is a full head of hair in this drain, amongst other things. These drains need to be cleaned on a regular basis because if they don't, you get this. I can imagine that this shower would have water pooling in the bottom of it badly.'
The cleaner then shared a step-by-step demonstration of how to tackle the chore efficiently.

'To clean this one, we actually took it outside first because it was pretty bad. We scraped all the excess off,' she said.
'Once all the excess was removed, we then gave it a spray and we polished it up.’ the cleaning guru added.
Thousands of viewers were quick to express their utter disgust upon seeing how dirty the drains were.
'How are you not dry heaving?' one woman asked.
'My new rental has it in the ensuite, I have to clean it every week to keep the hair out.’ another shared.
A third wrote: ‘Wow, these drains. It absolutely never occurred to me.’
To which the cleaning pro responded: ‘They are just so horrid!’
‘I’m also a cleaner... These make me gag so bad! I hate cleaning them.’ another professional cleaner chimed.
‘I had one in my old house – never again!’ one more declared.

The professional cleaner regularly shares cleaning tips, hacks, products, and transformations on her TikTok account.
Aside from invisible linear shower drains, she previously explained why she also hates corner cupboards in her client's homes.
'Honestly, for the life of me I have no clue why anyone thought this would be a good idea,' the cleaner commented.
'You literally have to be a contortionist to be able to clean inside a cupboard like this. Once again, these designers or builders are trying to be fancy, but in the real world, this just doesn't work.’
'That's coming from a cleaner who sees it all the time.' she continued.
