As the chores around the house begin to pile up, cleaning the shower head can become something of an afterthought. The Express reports that mineral deposits, known as limescale, can build up in the shower head and clog the holes - preventing the flow of water.
You can remove this limescale using things like baking soda or vinegar, but experts at Villeroy and Boch have come up with an even better natural "household remedy". Instead of these remedies, you can use citric acid as it can "dissolve stubborn limescale" in order to give "perfect results".
The experts said: "Cleaning with baking powder or with vinegar is very gentle on the material, but is somewhat time-consuming.
"A quicker way is to use citric acid, which can be found in powder form at all chemists. Please always follow the dosage and safety instructions on the packaging."
Citric acid is a great way to get rid of natural dirty shower heads and other parts of the house, as due to its acidity, it is very good for removing things like calcium (limescale), rust, and other minerals.
It's also useful for killing mould and mildew and can be used as a preservative. So, how do you use it?
Make sure to move the shower head around in the water so that the acid can get to every part of it
You can leave it for around 15 to 45 minutes to "completely decalcify the shower head."
After this, rinse the shower head under clear water and let enough water run through it to rinse out the acid left inside
Remember, as citric acid is very aggressive, make sure to spot-test the acid on an unnoticeable part of the head to check it doesn’t damage the material.
