- 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!!

Thank-you for demonstrating this so quickly and with easy visuals. I appreciate not sitting through long preludes and unnecessary dialogue.
Happy to help
much agreed!
Amen!
Ditto!!!!!!!
.
And don't forget to put your husband's toothbrush back when you're done
🤣🤣🤣
Oooh!! You are a BAD lady!
Now that’s funny. 😆
Lol 😂
😂
CLR does the same as the vinegar but in about 20 minutes. Also twist ties are probably easier than trying to double up a rubber band. Good video, no BS intro, no clickbait, no "like, share, and subscribe please, cuz I'm desperate for monies", just good quality advice. Thank you!
I personally don't want something as heavy CLR so i'll stick to vinegar
@@SuwinTzi With about a teaspoon of baking soda and just enough water to make a paste with an old tooth brush work it into the shower head. wait a few minutes and then use a cup with just enough vinegar to submerge the shower head. don't be startled if you see form come flowing over the cup. Hold it there for a minute or two. Then while flushing it clean scrub it with the bush. Slow draining sink? I do somewhat the same thing. This time add about a tablespoon of baking soda no need to wait then add about a 1/2 cup of vinegar. Then when it starts to fizzle down add some more vinegar. Wait a couple of minutes and flush with hot water. I have never try this on a clogged drain. You will be surprised at how well this works.
@@creamwobbly Tell me you enjoyed the 3 best years of your life in 8th grade without telling me.
does CLR or vinegar discolor the shower head?
I try to keep CLR out of my sewage treatment system, so the vinegar is a better solution for me.
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.
YUP!
Tip: wrap the elastic around the base of the faucet/ shower head a few times first, then you can stretch the band and tuck the baggie in.
And don’t use the same toothbrush you clean your teeth with
Make your kids stand there and hold it in place
@@skeezix8156 My bag kept falling off ...
You can also just pull out your faucet head and put it inside a container full of CLR or the white vinegar.
@@maggiemay5510 Use a zip-tie
Vinegar is wonderful but be mindful it’s acid. I was soaking chrome Tub drain plug to get calcium off, forgot and left it on 24 hours and it removed chrome plating.
Haha ya Wally😆…..I just can’t stand the smell myself, it makes me retch🤢
Cool !
Looks like those are rubber nozzles, they should flex and let you get the limescale of by just rubbing your finger over them as well.
@@londonbluevideo Nah, it eats into it until it disintegrates….when left for a long time (rubber)
That's what I was thinking if it could happen. I thought if my chrome coated shower head would be damaged from letting it soak in vinegar. The acid cad damage the coating obviously. All the best !
This will never get old! You did a great job bringing this classic back to life!
Thank you!
Thank you! I was skeptical, but this worked like a charm for my kitchen faucet and both shower heads.
Happy to help
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 have used this method on our rental properties’ shower heads for 20 + years. What amazes me is that this guy=y had the smarts to monetize this old technique on CZcams. I have told many of my tenants about this over the years too. It works.. Just leave it overnight after your shower and remove the next time you shower….
Vinegar is wonderful, it’s non toxic, it cleans shower heads beautifully and is a great replacement for cleaning kitchen countertops instead of using windex
Do what this guy suggests and use an old tooth brush to really clean the deposits out! Some models have flexible nozzle tips that also make it easier to break deposits loose. An old home repair but a good one.
Been using this method for 50 year's works great
Done this for years, it works splendidly well! Thanks for the video.
🙂
never gets old
I use a little citric acid mixed with water instead. That also prevents the nasty smell of the vinegar...
Great video, straight to the point! Thanks!
Happy to help!
Subscribed. I live in the hard water belt of Florida. This works just like your video demonstrated. Thanks for not unnecessarily stretching this to 10 minutes.
I wish I could give this video 5 stars like the old days. *****
Happy to help, welcome to the channel!!
I've had a troublesome showerhead that I have to keep trying to clean, which does not work well. I can't believe and simple and easy your solution worked!
thanks for the testimony
Over the years, I just unscrew the shower head, put it in a good-sized bowl and fill it with vinegar. Soak over night and clean the remnants off with a potato brush. Sometimes need to use a toothpick to clean one or two holes out. Thanks for your video.
Just love the way a bag is a 'baggie'. Love it. Same here - I have a doggie not a dog.
As long as it's not "doggo" or "furbaby"...🤢
I do maintenance on them with the toothbrush (preferably firm) dipped in vinegar.
No BS just getting to the point video! Thank you
happy to help
Very good!!! Don't go away....❤
I also appreciate the “straight into it” approach, too many people rabbit on for ages before actually presenting the video subject. They like the sound of their own voices?
I am so dumb!!! I am a regular descaler; but I never even considered using a plastic bag to sink the shower head into! Thanks man!!!
The vinegar that you can find in "home stores" is twice as concentrated as the vinegar that you find at the grocery store.
Also the Heinz cleaning vinegar from Walmart is stronger , comes in a gallon jug. What a great idea this guy has , something so simple but it evades most.
Bathroom window or mirror. Use water/vinegar and newspaper. Use the part of the newspaper with least print. No colored print.
Funny. I was thinking of doing this exact thing. Thanks for the proof of concept.
Happy to help!
I do this with the shower head in the bathroom too. Especially the Water Pic types with adjustable flow. Once a year works like a charm.
I’ve done this but I used a plastic tie wrap. Using vinegar for cleaning works well.
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!
I would also suggest a water softener which goes a long way eliminating lime scale.
Nice and easy video sir. Just not a fan of the vinegar smell but well worth it.
I love your accent! It’s so adorable
I used the white vinegar on my tub because of the mineral deposits. It really worked. I closed the tub drain and poured in one gallon of white vinegar. Then I just barely dribbled cold water into the tub. By morning tub was full of water mixed with vinegar. I took a paper towel and wiped down the tub and all of the mineral deposits were gone. I will try your method on my shower head.
Vinegar will erode enamel tubs.
I’ve used for years great tip 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I've used vinegar once looks like I'll keep using it.thanks for sharing.
happy to help
Great idea!
I think using a zip-tie or clear packing tape would be easier than messing with a rubber band. I'll give it a try on my bathroom sink faucet. Thanks!!
Just what I needed. Thanks.
Happy to help
Cleaning vinegar is a “must have” in the home 👍. Love your videos. 👍👏. Can you please do a video on the EASIEST WAY “without having to bend” to clean grubby black grout off of bathroom floor tiles. I only have a few of them that have been subjected to too much water n gone black.
Yes ma’am I recommend you invest in a deck brush for that👍
Here is a video where I am using one of those particular brushes🙂 czcams.com/video/cT1Ap9ZPKRU/video.html
Get yourself a broom and use it to scrub after you apply your cleaning vinegar blue dawn detergent and baking soda...happy cleaning
I put the bag around the shower head with the securing string loose. Then fill the bag and tighten. No spills.
Thanks much for your idea!
happy to help!
Thanks!! Using a baggy is MUCH easier than always taking the shower head off to soak in vinegar!
Absolutely 👍
An easier way for kitchen sinks is to fully extend the nozzle and place it inside a glass or measuring cup with vinegar. Use a chip clip or clothes pin and clamp it to the hose near the pipe.
Or just unclip the weight under the sink that holds the nozzle in place. Takes two seconds
Muchas gracias. Will do
Thank you your video's really helpful.
You are welcome
Very cool info
I was about to buy a new shower head, then found this video. It makes sense. I'll try it, then let y'all know the results
Thank you for this great tip
you are welcome
Great Video! Obviously, I'm overly excited about a simple, short and (somewhat) bland video on a subject that rarely comes to mind. But that's my point. You see, there's nothing complicated, expensive or frustrating with the outcome of your quick fix. It either works,
(it does) or it doesn't. No biggie. Hopefully you'll have more of these types of "remedies" around the house to help with my psyche. After all, a win is a win and I need all the points I can get. THANK YOU VIEWERS! It's also very helpful to get additional input and information that doesn't try to undermine the original video and its content. Thanks 😊 Happy New Year to ALL !🎉😊
happy to help!
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.
Yep! Soaked mine in baking soda & vinegar for 15 minutes. Took off all build up!
Good advice!😊❤
Glad you found it valuable
Nice job. The "before" picture probably looks a lot like the shower heads in most homes.
I have to give this a try!
🙂
This saved me a plumber visit. I'll spare you the details, but mine had issues. This made total sense. I let my problem shower head soak overnight, and voila, all is well at my house. Thanks for a great tip!!
Happy to help
Good idea. You could get by with far less vinegar however.
WORKED for the exact same type kitchen tap! THANKS 👍
happy to help!
Will this mess up the finish on fixtures
Thanks - I´m gonna try it - makes sense to me.
happy to help!
CLR WORKS GREAT
Tape rather than elastic ought to work too but may rip the bag upon removal.
Occasionally pouring some vinegar into your dishwasher on rinse cycle, once it's done it's draining, really helps remove and reduce any scale/deposits from building up too.
Great with lots of common sense.
Subbed. To the point, quick, and no yada yada.
Welcome to the channel🙂
This was exactly what I had in mind to do to my awful shower head. Was going to try CLR but I'll try the vinegar first. Thanks for showing how easy this is!
Happy to help!
Yes that’s exactly what I was going to do at first! Because I remember the commercial years ago as a kid. It was the only commercial I had seen that addresses the shower head. And the results were crazy good! But it’s good to know that I can use vinegar.
If their are any metal parts in the head, do not use vinegar as it eats metal. CLR is metal safe if I remember correctly. I buy ice machine cleaner and mix my own.
@@jamesspalten5977 From what I could find, the citric acid in CLR is slightly stronger than acetic acid in vinegar. So if vinegar is unsafe for cleaning a particular item, CLR would be as well.
Or you could just use a citric acid solution.
Great tip.
glad you found it valuable!
The first Sunday of every month I clean the shower drain, a very yechy job. Next I put a squirt of lime scale cleaner and water into the soap dish. I prop the shower head into the mix and leave it there until the next day, refit it and run the shower for a bit before getting in.
Run water while scrubbing, push to hard and the jets may get pushed back in. Water pressure behind them will help keep them in place.
You can use any acid.
I don't like vinegar because it smells, evaporates and can actually burn your eyes or throat if you inhale the vapors too much. You csn use citric acid too. It is sold as a powder for cooking - just make a solution of that in warm water.
That's what I clean teapots with too.
Great video thanks
you are welcome
Don’t forget goggles when doing the showerhead! When you go to scrub off the little leftover pieces, they will pop into your eyes. Been there done that.
Vinegar works great!
I clean my shower head with just a brush while I'm showering, works every time !!!
. *Same here, the rubber spouts just need a little bending.*
Wouldn't the vinegar damage the chrome shower head? Or is it not strong enough to damage the metallic parts?
"Like" for clean, clear presentation.
CLR is also a great option
Need a water purifier example (Brita filter)
that mean the water u bath in is dirty.
User a filter completely eliminates cleaning, sense the water is actually clean through the filter.
No, you'd need a full-on water softener for that
Thank you!
You are welcome
If your showerhead screws off by hand easily, I would recommend removing it and setting it in a bowl of vinegar. It's what I do. Otherwise exact same process (no other modifications)
Very nice
Warm vinegar about the boiling temp and it does its work in a few minutes
Cleaning tips here in the UK appear obsessed with adding bicarbonate of/baking soda powder to the vinegar to make a paste, totally ignoring the chemistry.
CLR works really well, really fast
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!
White vinegar is also awesome for cleaning the soap scum and hard water stains off glass shower doors
Mine takes 10 minutes in kettle descalant. Piece of cake!
I use a toothbrush with Lysol spray. After scrubbing clean, I take a large plastic cup filled with water and submerge the shower head. It only takes about 1 minute.
I did it and it really worked on my shower head.
Thank for the testimony!
Amazing
Thanks
Good idea, I bought a new one but it’s not as wide, I didn’t want to use CLR bc it would ruin the cheap plastic. 👍🏼
Vinegar has been one of the most handy things I've discovered. It's like liquid duct tape! It's a good general cleaner (I mix it with dawn and essential oils), a good laundry booster/fabric softener, and I even drink it (ACV with the mother intact) in my tea now for my health and it's making a difference.
Edit: I'm a Southerner also and was used to ice tea. It took me a while to get used to hot tea but I did and now it's great.
Thanks for the comment. Drinking it is another level🙂
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.
Ice tea is sickly sweet with tons of sugar. Horrible.
@@HAL-dm1ehwhat is ACV?
Thank you
You are welcome
Does the vinegar hurt the exterior look of the kitchen faucet or a shower head?
yup this works
It does!!
Great hack video. To the point. I use a 4-5' velcro strap, the kind that are used to secure items in their packaging, to keep the plastic bag in place. Much easier than trying to double up the rubber band.
Please do a video on how to deep clean and reconnect the garbage disposal in your shower. The latch hasp isn't even connected to the main drainage line on my Clarkman.
Personally I have never heard of a garbage disposal connected to a shower, only a kitchen sink.
Is there an easy way to just remove the assembly so I can clean inside it too?
Is there any reward or penalty for using stronger vinegar? It can be purchased at 15%, 30% or 45% acidity versus 5% for normal distilled white vinegar.
Yes, it's faster than 5%. I've done it with 4% successfully, but it's slow
Cool thanks
You are welcome
Thank you so much for a quick indecisive solution !
you are welcome
Indecisive?
@@markfox1545 sorry my mistake meant to say decisive
Wait, what does this do to a chrome finish?
