How to Clean Your Rainfall Showerhead Holes
Rainfall shower heads give you a sense of luxury while you stand underneath the wide spray of rain-like showers. They offer a true spa-like ambiance to your shower, but failing to keep a rainfall shower head clean can clog up its holes.
Cleaning your rainfall shower head holes isn't difficult and only takes about 10 minutes.
Things You Will Need
- 20 oz. white vinegar
- 1-gallon plastic bowl
- 6 tbsp. salt
Warning
Do not use soap to clean your rainfall shower head, as the soap scum will clog the holes.
-
Remove the shower head by twisting it from the base.
-
Mix a half gallon of hot water with the vinegar in the plastic bowl.
-
Position the shower head with the holes pointing down and pour the 6 tablespoons of salt down the back of it. The salt will go down the small pipe that is used to twist into the shower base.
-
Pour about a half a cup of the water and vinegar mix down the back of the shower nozzle, following the salt.
-
Place the shower head, with the holes facing down, into the bowl of the remaining water and vinegar solution.
-
Swish the water around for about a minute.
-
Hold the shower head over the shower drain and pour the remaining solution into the back where you poured the salt and water previously.
-
Twist the rainfall shower head back onto the base securely.
-
Turn your shower on hot water only, and let the salt and vinegar water run through the shower head for approximately 15 minutes.
