How To Clean And Descale Your Shower Head

Over time, this can cause blockages and affect water flow. Descaling a showerhead can help address these issues and keep your shower free from bacteria or mould. It’s easier than you might think to descale your shower head, by following these simple steps.

Not all showerheads are removable, so descaling a fixed shower head can be tricky. But with the right products, you can get rid of limescale build-up effectively.   

If you have a dual shower, you might want to clean both showerheads at the same time to keep on top of limescale, even if you use one more regularly than the other. Discover why two showerheads are better than one here. 

Is your shower persistently dripping after switching it off? Whilst you clean and descale, you can also fix your dripping showerhead. 

Although vinegar can be a highly effective way to clean your showerhead, stubborn limescale might require something more potent. Specialist limescale cleaners are relatively easy to find in supermarkets but take care when using these products. Wear gloves and don’t spray products overhead in case you get chemicals in your eyes.

When it comes to limescale, prevention is often better than cure. The  Mira Logic four spray shower head is designed with rub-clean nozzles on the spray face for easy cleaning and limescale removal. Looking for a more affordable option? The Mira Beat four spray showerhead is a great choice, with the same easy-to-clean features.
