Due to prolonged use, showerheads can accumulate dirt and clog the nozzle holes, resulting in reduced water flow. So, some people will use strong acid for cleaning to increase the cleaning intensity. However, this approach not only corrodes the showerhead, but also causes secondary damage. Therefore, to avoid damaging the showerhead, you must learn these cleaning methods!
Soak in vinegar: First prepare some white vinegar, then pour the vinegar into a basin and immerse the showerhead in the vinegar. After 10 minutes, the dirt in the showerhead water can be removed.
Using lubricant: If the metal of the showerhead rusts and causes severe blockage, a rust and rust resistant lubricant can be used to separate the rusted layer from the metal layer and form a protective film. If your showerhead is made of stainless steel material, it would be very suitable.
Using a needle: When cleaning, insert the needle one by one into the water outlet to remove the scale. Then, pour water into the nozzle from the inlet, shake and clean, and pour out the water. This way, the scale can be thoroughly cleaned.
Rubbing out the spout: Nowadays, many showerheads use soft thermoplastic elastomers as the spout. For this type of showerhead, simply gently rub the spout to remove impurities, repeat 2-3 times, and rinse with water.
But when cleaning, attention should be paid to:
1. When using a showerhead, be careful not to apply too much force, and do not bend or even damage the hose connected to the showerhead.
When cleaning the showerhead, if you encounter difficult to remove stains, you can cut a fresh lemon slice to wipe the stains. Do not use strong acid liquids for soaking and cleaning to avoid corrosion of the showerhead.
If your showerhead has been used for a long time, it will accumulate dirt, harmful bacteria, and impurities inside. It is recommended to replace it to avoid affecting your health.
