24.11.2024 06:20

Who hasn’t encountered a situation where water from a shower head sprays in thin streams in different directions, and some of the holes show no signs of life at all?

In such cases, some try to push a hole in the watering can with something thin and sharp, while others simply change the accessory.

Neither the first nor the second is the right solution to the problem, and all because the shower head needs to be cleaned and it is not difficult at all. There are many ways.

The first way

Disconnect the watering can from the hose and place it in a deep bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of citric acid and pour boiling water (to completely cover the watering can in the solution).

After 15-20 minutes, rinse with water.

The second way

Place the watering can in a bowl or plastic bag and fill it with a solution of vinegar (1 part) and water (2 parts). After 24 hours, clean the nozzle with a brush, rinse and you can use it.

The third way

The set of ingredients included in cola allows the use of carbonated water to combat rust and limescale.

Heat up the soda and pour it into the nozzle. After 2 hours, rinse the shower head with water.

With the same success, you can clean the nozzle with lemon and salt (wet the holes, sprinkle with salt and rub with half a lemon), or use household chemicals.

For reference

Water hardness can vary throughout the year. It increases due to evaporation and decreases during the rainy season or when snow and ice melt.
