How to clean a shower head from limescale: three effective tips

When it comes to keeping your shower head clean, descaling is crucial. SSPDaily has collected several practical methods and tips to ensure the efficient operation of the shower head.

Vinegar and baking soda

Mix vinegar and water in equal parts, and then pour them into a plastic bag. Then tie the bag around the shower head, making sure the nozzle is immersed in the solution. Leave it on for a few hours, and then remove the bag and run water to rinse off the vinegar. After that, mix baking soda with water to form a paste and use it to clean the shower head, then rinse it off thoroughly.

Lemon juice

Fill a plastic bag with lemon juice and attach it to the shower head. Allow the head to soak in the lemon liquid for several hours, then remove the bag and rinse the head with water. The natural acidity of lemon juice helps break down and remove limescale.

Commercial cleaning products

If natural methods don't completely remove limescale from your shower head, try using a commercially available cleaner specifically formulated to remove mineral deposits. Follow the instructions on the product packaging for best results, and be sure to rinse the shower head thoroughly after use to avoid chemical residue.
