Wait 2 hours then pour a gallon of hot water down the drain. I have not done it on shower drain just to my bathroom sinks. It works well. Hope this helps.
First, take the drain cover off and use a tool to clean out the hair. Then run HOT water for 1 minute. Next pour 1/2 c. baking soda followed by 2-3c. white vinegar. Leave it for 10 mins. or so and run HOT water. You may have to repeat. If this does not work, call a plumber.
You should be able to take the drain screen out, then wear rubber gloves, and get out the 'gunk stuff' which is most likely what is causing the odor, then use an old toothbrush and loosen up anything further down the drain, pour 1/4 cup of Dawn mixed with two cups of very warm water, wait about 10 minutes, then run water into the drain. The Dawn with loosen any 'greasy gunk'. Be sure to clean the drain screen, and do this about once a year.
