Shower Head Cleaning.

[melv16]

The sprinkler bit on the shower head is impossible to remove. What's the best way of cleaning it?

[ummmm]

In a plastic bag sealed with an elastic band.

full of Viakal.

[melv16]

What do you put in the plastic bag, ummm?

If you want an instant result ... poke every hole in the shower head with a paper clip and then scrub it with a nailbrush.
The descaler will do a better job if you have time on your hands.

You could also put viakal all on a sponge and squeeze it over the shower head and leave for a while it's quite thick. Then use a stiff brush on it to get rid of the scale.

[ummmm]

I've seen Aggie and Kim do it with vinegar but I'd use something like Viakal.

[melv16]

Thank you for the replies. Never heard of vaical, so it's out with the sarsons.:-)

[ummmm]

I think it's suppose to be white vinegar.

[MargoTester]

If you could get the shower head off I would say put it in a bowl of vinegar but as you can't viakal is the best answer, sainsuburys sell it

After a week of soaking the shower head in vinegar, I don't know what will smell worse... you or the shower head ?

Oh, what a palaver, I've yet to use my new shower installed a couple of months ago with the bathroom suite, and now I know I'll just stick to bathing as per usual.
