Clean your shower head every 1-2 months to maintain optimal performance.
Use this method for other bathroom fixtures like faucets or sink aerators to remove buildup.
Variations:
Add a few drops of dish soap to the vinegar for extra cleaning power, especially if your shower head is covered with soap scum.
For stubborn mineral buildup, you can increase the soaking time to 2 hours, depending on the severity.
FAQ:
Can I clean my shower head without removing it?
Yes, if your shower head isn’t detachable, simply follow the same steps but without removing it. Secure the bag over the shower head and let it soak while it’s still in place.
Can I use any type of vinegar?
White vinegar is best because it’s a natural, non-toxic cleaner. Avoid using apple cider vinegar as it has a stronger scent and could leave a residue.
What if my shower head is still clogged after cleaning?
If the buildup is severe, you may need to use a small brush (like an old toothbrush) to scrub the holes of the shower head after soaking it.
