The clever trick to cleaning your shower head

Your shower head will be running beautifully. - by Rachael Jones
  • 06 Aug 2021

Cleaning the bathroom is a chore most people want to get over and done with – or not do at all!

WATCH: Adam makes a bathroom cabinet

And it's for this reason that many let cleaning the shower head slip their minds. If yours is clogged up, filled with limescale or other unsightly gunk, it's time for a deep clean.

Luckily, it can become nice and easy with this simple fool-proof (and mould-proof!) hack.

Gather your supplies

  • White vinegar
  • Large zip-lock bag or plastic bag
  • Rubber band or zip ties

What to do

  1. Fill half of the bag with vinegar and place it over the shower head, making sure it’s submerged.
  2. Secure with a rubber band or zip tie and leave overnight.
  3. In the morning, remove the bag and run the shower for a couple of minutes before using. All the gunk that has built up over time will fall away!
