Cleaning Tips
and Hints

Over time, mineral deposits can clog your showerhead, affecting water pressure and flow. An easy, natural solution is to clean it with vinegar! Here’s how to do it:

Materials Needed:

• White vinegar
• Plastic bag
• Rubber band or twist tie
• Old toothbrush (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prepare the Vinegar Solution: Fill a plastic bag with enough white vinegar to submerge the showerhead nozzle.
2. Attach the Bag: Carefully place the bag over the showerhead so the nozzle is fully submerged in vinegar. Secure it tightly with a rubber band or twist tie.
3. Soak the Showerhead: Leave the bag in place for at least one hour. For heavy buildup, let it soak overnight. The vinegar will dissolve mineral deposits, loosening any clogs.
4. Remove and Rinse: After soaking, carefully remove the bag and dispose of the vinegar. Run hot water through the showerhead for a minute to flush out any remaining residue.
5. Scrub if Needed: If some mineral deposits remain, use an old toothbrush to gently scrub the nozzle, focusing on the water holes.
6. Final Rinse: Turn the shower on to rinse away any leftover vinegar and debris.

Additional Tips:

• Prevent Future Buildup: Repeat this process every few months to maintain optimal water flow.
• Use Lemon for Extra Freshness: Add a few lemon slices to the vinegar solution for a fresh scent.
• Test for Metal Sensitivity: For showerheads with delicate finishes, test a small area first to avoid damage.

By following these simple steps, you’ll keep your showerhead running smoothly and free from mineral buildup—all without the need for harsh chemicals!
