PausitoRoutine BuilderHow often should you descale your shower head?
Descale your shower head once a month. With soft water you can do it less often.
Limescale builds up in the small holes of the shower head. The spray then becomes weaker and goes in all directions. Descaling monthly keeps the shower head hygienic and working well.
- Unscrew the shower head or tie a bag of descaler around it
- Let it soak in descaler or cleaning vinegar as the packaging says
- Rub off loosened limescale with an old toothbrush
- Rinse well with water and run the shower for a moment
