If you prefer the DIY route or don't have a Universal Cleaner handy, here's the complete step-by-step process to clean shower head with vinegar effectively at home.
Step-by-Step Guide
Prepare the Vinegar Solution
Fill a plastic bag with 1 cup of white vinegar. For heavy buildup, heat the vinegar slightly (not boiling) for better results.
Attach the Bag
Place the bag over the shower head so it's fully submerged in vinegar. Secure with a rubber band or twist tie.
Soak Overnight
Leave the bag attached for at least 8-12 hours. For severe buildup, add 2 tbsp of baking soda to the vinegar.
Remove and Scrub
Remove the bag and scrub the nozzles with an old toothbrush. Focus on the spray holes where deposits collect.
Run Hot Water
Turn on the shower at full pressure for 2-3 minutes to flush out loosened mineral deposits.
Polish with Cloth
Wipe the shower head with a dry microfiber cloth to remove water spots and restore shine.
Pro Tips
- For chrome shower heads, dilute vinegar 1:1 with water to prevent damage
- Clean your shower head every 2-3 months in hard water areas
- Use a toothpick to clear individual spray holes if still clogged
