Keep Your Showerhead Sparkling: Clean It Regularly!
If your old shower head doesn’t seem to be putting the water out like it used to, it may be time to clean it. Water streams going in different directions, low flow, or fluctuating temperatures are all signs it needs a good clean.
Over time, shower heads can accumulate mineral deposits, soap scum, and other debris, leading to a reduced water flow and a less satisfying shower experience.
Here’s a simple way to clean your shower head:
- Remove the Shower Head: Unscrew the shower head from the pipe, using a wrench or your fingers.
- Soak It: Fill a plastic bag with white vinegar and place the shower head inside.
Secure the bag with a rubber band and let it soak for 1-2 hours (or overnight for stubborn build-up). - Clean It: Remove the showerhead from the bag and scrub away any remaining debris with a toothbrush or small brush.
- Rinse It: Rinse the showerhead thoroughly with water.
- Reinstall: Reinstall the showerhead on the pipe, making sure it’s secure.
- Bonus Tip: For extra cleaning, try removing the shower head spray nozzles and soaking them separately in vinegar.
This quick and easy cleaning routine will keep your shower head sparkling clean and help you enjoy a refreshing shower every time!
