Maintaining Your Shower Head

If you’re anything like us, your shower is one of the most relaxing parts of your day. It’s a time to escape the outside world and clear your head before taking on whatever the day has in store for you. But if your shower head is dirty, it can turn what should be a peaceful oasis into a gross and germy nightmare.

Luckily, cleaning your shower head is a quick and easy process that only requires a few household ingredients. In just a few minutes, you can have a sparkling clean shower head that will make your daily shower even more enjoyable.

Here’s how to clean your shower head, courtesy of the experts at Bath Planet of Philadelphia:

1. Remove the shower head from the arm and soak it in vinegar overnight. This will help loosen any build-up on the shower head.
2. In the morning, scrub the shower head with an old toothbrush to remove any remaining build-up.
3. Rinse the shower head thoroughly with water to remove the vinegar.
4. Place the shower head back on the arm and turn on the water to flush out any remaining vinegar.
5. Enjoy your newly cleaned shower head!

Why it’s Important

It’s important to keep your shower head clean for two main reasons: hygiene and efficiency. First, let’s talk about hygiene. Your face is inches away from your shower head every time you use it, so you want to make sure it’s free of bacteria and other germs. A dirty shower head can cause skin irritation and respiratory problems, so it’s definitely not worth taking the risk.

Second, a clean shower head means better water pressure and a more enjoyable shower experience overall. Over time, mineral deposits can build up inside the holes of your shower head, which can reduce water flow and create frustrating low-pressure situations. Cleaning your shower head on a regular basis will help keep water flowing freely so you can enjoy a powerful (and relaxing) shower every time you step in.

So there you have it! A quick and easy guide to keeping your shower head clean and bacteria-free. We hope this helps you enjoy your showers even more! And remember, if you ever need help with any of your bathroom remodeling needs, give us a call at 866-425-4072 – we’re always happy to help!
