Cleaning Your Shower Head

Can you remember the last time that you cleaned your shower head? If not, or the answer is never, let us walk you through how to make sure your shower head is squeaky clean! One important aspect of keeping your bathroom clean is making sure your shower head stays clean. Over time, mineral deposits can build up on the shower head and cause it to become less effective.

How to Clean Shower Heads

Here are some tips from The Bath Builders on how to keep your shower head clean:

1. Unscrew the shower head from the pipe and soak it in vinegar overnight. This will help loosen any mineral deposits that have built up on the shower head.
2. In the morning, scrub the shower head with an old toothbrush to remove any remaining deposits.
3. Rinse off the vinegar and screw the shower head back onto the pipe.
4. Run water through the shower head to check for proper flow. If there is still decreased flow, repeat steps 1-3 until desired results are achieved.
5. Minerals can also build up in the pipes, so it’s important to flush them out every few months. This can be done by running a mixture of water and vinegar through the shower head for a few minutes.

By following these simple tips, you can help keep your shower head clean and working properly for years to come.
