Quick Cleaning Method for Removable Shower Heads

If your shower head can be detached:

1. Remove the shower head by unscrewing it from the pipe.
2. Soak in white vinegar for 1-2 hours to dissolve mineral buildup.
3. Scrub gently with a toothbrush, focusing on nozzle holes.
4. Rinse thoroughly and reattach the shower head.

Cleaning Without Removing the Shower Head

For fixed shower heads:

1. Fill a plastic bag halfway with vinegar.
2. Secure the bag around the shower head using a rubber band or twist tie. Ensure the nozzles are submerged.
3. Let it soak for 2-3 hours, or overnight for tough buildup.
4. Remove the bag and scrub nozzle holes with a toothbrush.
5. Rinse thoroughly by running water through the shower head.

Dealing with Stubborn Build-Up

For tough mineral deposits, mix baking soda with vinegar to form a paste. Apply it to the shower head for 15-20 minutes, scrub with a brush, and rinse thoroughly.

Regular Maintenance Tips

• Wipe down weekly with a damp cloth to prevent buildup.
• Soak monthly in vinegar to maintain optimal function.
• Use a shower filter to reduce mineral deposits from hard water.
