How to Clean Your Showerhead Properly

Is your showerhead nozzle clogged? Or do you see rusty orange stains on your showerhead? Then, it is time to deep clean your showerhead. If you live in an area where water is hard, the stain can worsen over time. Hence, it is important to take the necessary action to protect your showerhead. Using natural cleaning agents such as distilled vinegar, lemon, and baking soda can help you remove the hard stains on the showerhead. However, to restore the shine after removing the stain, you need to use a powerful cleaning liquid from Fressho.

What Causes Stains on Showerhead?

There are multiple reasons that cause stains on the showerhead. Understanding the root cause can help you get rid of the stain sooner and effectively.

• Hard Water – Minerals such as Magnesium or Calcium in your water get deposits on the showerhead, causing limescale buildup. If your water contains a high level of iron, it causes rusty orange stains on your showerhead.
• Soap Scum – The residue of soap can cause hard stains on the showerhead.
• Mold and Mildew – Since the bathroom is a humid environment, you can easily find mold and mildew buildup.

How to Clean Showerhead Using Fressho

1. Spray the Fressho Tap and Shower Cleaner on your shower head.

2. Get a soft brush and scrub the dirt on your showerhead.

3. Rinse the foam with water and let hot water run through your showerhead.

4. Dry the showerhead with a dry cloth. After cleaning, you can notice the shine on your showerhead.

Other Possible Ways to Clean Showerhead

Apart from cleaning agents, you can use natural agents at home to clean the showerhead. However, you cannot expect these natural agents to be as effective as the powerful cleaning liquid Fressho.

Vinegar

A distilled white vinegar mix works wonders for effectively cleaning tough stains from your showerhead. Get a clear plastic bag and fill the bag with distilled white vinegar. Ensure not to overfill the bag. Unscrew your showerhead and put it in the bag. If you cannot remove the showerhead, just place the bag over the showerhead until it is entirely immersed in the vinegar. Use a thread or band to tie and hang the bag filled with vinegar around the neck of the showerhead.

Check how secure the bag is so that it does not slip away when you take your hand off it. Let your showerhead soak in the vinegar solution for several hours. If your showerhead is too dirty, let it soak overnight. If your showerhead is made of brass or chrome, you can submerge it in the vinegar solution for just 30 minutes. Remove the bag, and unclog the nozzles using a toothpick or paper clip.

Scrub the showerhead using an old toothbrush to remove the dirt. Turn on the hot water in the shower to flush out the residue. Dry the showerhead using a microfiber cloth.

Lemon and Baking Soda

Lemon juice contains acids that will dissolve the mineral deposits on your showerhead. Use lemon juice and baking soda or salt to make a paste. Dismantle the showerhead. Dip an old toothbrush or soft cleaning brush in the paste and scrub the showerhead. Let the hot water run through the shower head, rinse the scum with water, and wipe the excess water on the showerhead using a dry cloth to prevent oxidation.

Tips to Maintain a Tidy Showerhead

When you live in an area where you use hard water or well water, you cannot avoid the limescale buildup on the showerhead. Frequent cleaning will ensure the consistent water flow, stain-free, and prolonged life of your showerhead. Regular maintenance with powerful products such as Fressho Tap and Shower Cleaner, as well as natural cleaning agents like lemon, vinegar, and baking soda, will help you prevent stubborn stains on your showerhead. With a little care, you can keep your showerhead fresh, functional, and looking like new!
