How often do you clean your shower head? In this video I'll show you the easiest and most effective way to clean it!!
From time to time it's important to give your shower head a good cleaning as it can become laced with limescale, calcium buildup and nasty gunk in general.
Here's what to do:
Fill up a small bag with distilled white vinegar, submerge the shower head down into the vinegar filled bag. Next, secure the bag in place with a rubber band. All the shower head to soak in the vinegar for 2 hours. This will give the vinegar time to loosen up and eat away all the mineral buildup.
After the 2 hours are over remove the bag, wash off the shower head and you're done. It should look as good as new!!

A lot of modern shower heads have rubber nozzles on the ends, so you can simply reach up with your bare hand and sort of forcefully rub at it, like you're trying to wipe a stain off something. Do it while the shower is running. The limescale build up in the rubber nozzles will crumble and be expelled by the water. If you let it get as bad as the one in the video of course you'll need to use chemicals, but if you just reach up with your hand every time you take a shower and make a point to give the showerhead a quick wipedown, you'll never have to.

It's also a good idea to remove all the aerator from your faucets and clean the screens if you ever need to turn the main water supply to the house off for any reason, and when you turn the water back on let it run a minute before putting the aerator back on to get the sediment out, you should notice an improvement in your water pressure .

I wish I knew this two weeks ago. Shortly after showering, I developed the acute onset of an allergic dermatitis. Not being an allergy type person, I had to go thru a Process of Elimination checklist that took 2 weeks! Only to find out it was the shower head! I purchased it 5 years ago. I always sprayed the outside with a bathroom cleaner when cleaning the shower stall. Never thought to disinfect the inside of it. After seeing this video, I took it off and bought a new one. The painful rashes disappeared within a few days. My shower head will get disinfected every 6 months whether it needs it or not!

In my experience, what works even better than vinegar (acetic acid) is citric acid, which is usually available in the canning section at the supermarket. I keep a bag of it in the pantry, and mix up a fresh batch (around 4-5 teaspoons per pint of water, which is a pretty strong solution) whenever something needs cleaning. Using hot water will increase its effectiveness. Unlike vinegar, it has no smell, and works great for cleaning bathroom tile, too. It's safe to use - just don't get it in your eyes, and rinse your hands well afterwards.

I have this exact faucet that I cleaned today. For this faucet head, unscrew it from the hose end after the vinegar soak as there is a tiny screen where the faucet head screws into the hose that requires cleaning as well. This screen fills with tiny stones that the baggie vinegar soak can't reach. Be sure the hose doesn't slide into the faucet tube without the faucet head while cleaning it.

Thanks, the Molen head unscrews so no need to keep a baggie like that. Also, CLR does a great job. In addition to the head, the aerators likely need to be demineralized. I did all our faucets and the water pressure was vastly improved. Lastly, most Molen faucets have a proprietary way to remove the aerators, they require a special key. However, sink faucets like this one does not have a key that allows one to remove and clean the aerator. I found out from a neighbor that Molen will send out the kitchen sink faucet head and aerators for bathroom sinks for free!

You can do a quick-result test first. just spray liberally with a mould clearing product typical in bathrooms, and see if 10 minutes sitting and then rinsing off doesn't do the trick. PS - this is an absolute winner for stainless steel drains. Just coat liberally and 10 minutes later the gunk rinses off, and even the drain pipe can come up looking much better.

VINEGAR... Indeed, a great idea, cheap, effective and ecological, but with so many detergents, we lose sight of many things! In fact, it is chemically normal, the acid (vinegar) dissolves the oxygenated salts (deposited lime). And if we further take into acount the Chemistry, baking soda also does housework wonderfully... cheap, ecological and efficient as well! More than that, the combination of vinegar (acidic pH)-sodium bicarbonate (basic pH) is exceptional in house cleaning! (I think this is the oldest cleaning idea)

I've seen a video somewhere explaining how drinking a glass of water mixed with a bit of vinegar before consuming sugary products can help with the following glucose spike

@@franqusco Studies show that is in fact the case. I just stopped drinking it though because I got cavities pop up recently. I don't know if it was that or my increase of eating raisins, but I stopped them both. I suspect it was the raisins, as the vinegar was diluted in the tea. Most of the benefits I was getting from ACV had to do with digestion and it stimulating me to produce more stomach acid, which cured all kinds of stuff. You can take a Betaine HCL pill for that, so that's what I'm doing now.

I actually clean mine each day; all it takes is spraying down with vinegar and walking everyday and that way I don’t ever have to do the baggie thing. A toothbrush, a vinegar spray, and a quick daily clean and all this extra effort can be avoided.

i have soaked my shower heads in vinegar for 2 days nothing changed. soaked them in CLR overnight, nothing changed. i used those tools to remove the limescale stuck in the shower holes and it improved 25%. so far nothing anyone has recommended have brought them back to being fully functional.

I just remove the shower head and soak it in a pan of vinegar. It may be out of your comfort zone, but it really isn't difficult. Have some Teflon sealing tape on hand to wrap on the threads of the pipe coming out of the wall before screwing the head back on.

You can also just soak a tissue in vinegar, wrap the shower head tightly in it, will have the same result for a fraction of the vinegar. You can also strain the vinegar to reuse it but I don't know the risks/downside to it.

Hard water will wreck your house and appliances. All of the minerals you see at the shower head are collecting in your pipes, valves, hot water heater, dishwasher, refrigerator, washing machine, coffee maker and anything else that hooks into your water. All of those appliances will have a markedly shorter life span. You also need to use a lot more detergent to get things clean. You can likely call your water company or test and learn how hard your water is. The best solution is to install a salt based water softener. I suggest adding a 5-stage reverse osmosis water filter system to feed a sink spout and the ice maker. You will never buy bottled water again, your appliances will last far longer.

Easier way - put vinegar in spray bottle, hold a paper towel against the surface of the faucet head, spray the paper towel w the vinegar (it will stick to the head), and leave it be for 10 or 15 minutes and spray it again as it’s drying out.
