It is inevitable that you will face and suffer from water leakage problems in your shower head. Water leakage, as the name implies, occurs when water leaks out of the showerhead and pours onto your bathroom tiles and flooring. What causes these annoying and unsightly stains on the bathroom's surface? In fact, they are caused by mineral deposits left inside your showerhead after hard usage of water over time together with too much soap or shampoo inside it that cause clogging at the small holes within its structure. To clean and remove these mineral deposits as well as to prevent any further buildup one should perform a simple maintenance activity, cleaning his/her showerhead regularly. Here are several tips on how one can do it without causing any damage to his/her plumbing system: Here are the tools and materials you will need for this project. A wire brush to remove any buildup on your showerhead. A clean cloth or rag to wipe out any deposits from inside the holes of your showerhead. Mineral vinegar to use as a cleaning agent to get rid of mineral deposits inside your showerhead. Vinegar will break down soap scum, hair spray, and hard water build-up leaving the plastic-looking new again! It is also odorless (unlike bleach) which means it won't irritate sensitive skin or eyes if accidentally splashed during the cleaning process, and it does not require rinsing before returning it to service after completion. A toothbrush to clean the insides of the showerhead. Be careful that you don't scratch or chip any part of your showerhead while using a wire brush. It will break down soap scum, hair spray, and hard water build-up leaving the plastic-looking new again. This is a very effective and useful method to clean your dirty shower head and it will look like a new one.
