Shower head cleaning doesn't require expensive supplies. Homemade cleaners work best. An efficient, eco-friendly cleaning solution is a mixture of water and white vinegar.
We've described how to clean your shower head here. After you're done, give yourself a hearty slap on the back or a hot shower.
First, remove your shower head. Turning the shower head arm counterclockwise may remove it. Home Depot suggests using pliers or a wrench.
After removing your shower head, put it in a cleaning solution dish.
If your shower head is non-removable, put the cleaning solution in a plastic bag and bind it around with a rubber band.
Soak your shower head in the solution for two hours. Start the procedure before bed or after the last person showers to give yourself adequate time.
After soaking, start taking a shower and run hot water for a few seconds to flush the shower head of white vinegar and debris.
Dip a toothbrush or sponge in the cleaning solution and scrub the shower head, making sure to get into the tiny holes.
Buffing your shower head with a soft, dry cloth after cleaning is optional, but it will make it shine.
Screw your shower head back on. Just spin clockwise like you did to remove it.
