OK, here's the drain cleaning recipe given to me by my dad, a plumber by trade:

1/2 cup baking soda (i.e., Arm & Hammer) NOT washing soda as it can damage PVC pipe when combined with the vinegar

1 cup white vinegar -- heated in microwave till hot

Pour the baking soda into the drain. Then slowly add the hot vinegar. The mixture will fizz and bubble. Wait about 15 minutes and flush drain with a quart or so of boiling water.

Done. I do this every month or so to keep the shower drain clear of soap gunk, etc.
