There are several options for soaking a shower head to clean it. Here are some methods:
-
Baking soda and vinegar: In a container, mix baking soda and vinegar to create a cleaning solution. Remove the showerhead from the fixture and soak it in the solution for four hours or overnight.
-
Baking soda and lemon juice: In a cup or small bowl, mix baking soda or salt with a squirt of lemon juice to create a paste. Dip the showerhead in the paste and let it sit for a few hours.
-
Vinegar and water: Remove the showerhead from the fixture and place it in a large bowl filled with equal parts distilled white vinegar and water. Swirl the solution to help it run through the internal mechanics of the showerhead. Let it soak overnight or for the day.
-
Vinegar in a bag: Fill a plastic bag with vinegar and wrap it around the showerhead. Secure the bag around the head with a rubber band, tape, or a twist tie. Leave the bag around the showerhead for a few hours.
After soaking the showerhead, rinse it with water and wipe it down with a dry microfiber cloth to remove any remaining mineral build-up or residue on the metal or plastic.
