Is your shower head not working as efficiently as it used to? Over time, mineral deposits and grime can build up, clogging the nozzles and reducing water pressure. Fortunately, there’s a quick and easy way to clean your shower head that will leave it looking and functioning like new. Here’s how you can achieve unbelievable results with minimal effort.
What You’ll Need
White vinegar (enough to submerge the shower head)
Plastic bag (large enough to fit over the shower head)
Rubber band or twist tie
Old toothbrush or small cleaning brush (optional, for scrubbing)
Baking soda (optional, for added cleaning power)
Step-by-Step Guide
1. Fill the Plastic Bag with Vinegar
Start by filling a plastic bag halfway with white vinegar. The acidity of the vinegar will help dissolve the mineral deposits, soap scum, and other grime that may be clogging your shower head.
2. Attach the Bag to the Shower Head
Carefully place the vinegar-filled bag over the shower head, making sure the nozzles are fully submerged in the vinegar. Use a rubber band or twist tie to secure the bag in place. Ensure it’s tight enough that the bag won’t slip off.
3. Let It Soak
Allow the shower head to soak in the vinegar for at least 30 minutes. For more stubborn buildup, you can leave it soaking for an hour or even overnight. The longer it soaks, the more effective the vinegar will be at breaking down the deposits.
4. Remove the Bag and Rinse
After soaking, carefully remove the plastic bag from the shower head. Pour the used vinegar down the drain and run hot water through the shower for a few minutes to rinse away any remaining residue.
5. Scrub the Nozzles (Optional)
