How to Clean Your Shower Head
Is your shower head in need of a bit of TLC? Follow these simple steps and your shower head will be sparkling in no time!
How to know it’s time to clean your shower head?
Your showerhead will show clear signs of suffering when it needs a cleanse. Watch out for these:
- Reduced water pressure
- Water sprouting in every direction without a streamlined flow
- The shower area is smelly, rather than fragrant
If you notice any or all of these issues disrupting your showers, it’s probably time to give it a clean.
Limescale and other build up on shower heads directly affect the water pressure by clogging the holes, leading to reduced and sporadic flow. Mould and mildew make your shower head smelly and looks unsightly.
Our showerheads were designed to be as easy to clean and you can refresh them in a few simple steps. Don’t believe us? Keep scrolling.
How do you clean your showerhead?
Step-by-step guide to clean your shower head:
1. Detach your Showery shower head from the shower hose.
2. Mix equal parts of white vinegar and water in a bowl.
3. Soak your Showery shower head in the vinegar solution so the holes are immersed in the mix.
4. Preferably, soak your shower head overnight. However, if you’re running short on time, we recommend you soak it for at least 1 hour.
5. Take your shower head out of the vinegar solution and wipe away any limescale deposits.
6. Reconnect your Showery shower head back into its hose.
7. Run hot water through the shower head for a minute or two to thoroughly rinse off any vinegar or limescale residue.
And you’re done! (It’s that simple with Showery shower heads.)
