Are you looking for an easy way to keep your showerhead clean?

Do you ever think about giving your showerhead a clean?

Like most of us the answer is more than likely you don’t think about it and if you do, you may think cleaning your showerhead is a Spring Cleaning task.

You probably think your showerhead is self-cleaning and that makes perfect sense. In Hamilton, you should regularly clean your showerhead for the health of your family, remove mineral deposits, bacteria and extend the life of your showerhead. If you think you have to remove your showerhead from the wall…think again! Cleaning the showerhead in Hamilton is easier than you think!

You should aim to do a clean of your showerhead about once a week. You can regularly clean a little less or little more depending on how often the shower is used and depending on how hard the water is. (You can tell if the limescale is present.)

Whether or not you notice limescale forming, fill a baggie with white vinegar and attach to the showerhead with an elastic or a zip tie. Keep it attached for about half an hour, the remnants of the limescale will drop into the baggie. Anything that is left, just scrub it off. When you turn the shower on, you should notice the water pressure is better coming out of the jets in the showerhead.

You can stay on top of keeping your showerhead clean by putting diluted vinegar in a spray bottle and giving the showerhead a quick spray every day or two. If you take the time to clean your showerhead in Hamilton, expect the lifespan of your showerhead to extend while the stream of the water improves. When you’ve finished cleaning the showerhead, dry and buff the fixture.

If your showerhead’s water is down to a trickle and you have cleaned it, the time may have come to call your Hamilton residential plumber at A Rescue Rooter. Call your Hamilton residential plumbing specialists for repair to any of your taps and faucets that aren’t working properly.
