Care and
maintenance of your showerhead
Fortunately
showerheads do not require much maintenance but in any case to keep your
showerhead giving you optimum performance, there are a few things you can do.
Before
installation let the water run for at least a minute, this will help clear any
debris.
Some shower heads are equipped with “easy clean”
rubber jets, at least once a week run your finger across the rubber jets this
will help squeeze out debris that may start accumulating.
Clean
the showerhead at least once every 6-8 weeks by removing it and flushing out
any debris by turning the showerhead upside down and gently tapping the
showerhead to dislodge any solid matter that may have collected, some Kingston
Brass Shower heads have a mesh screen, you can remove the screen with the aid
of a small screw or needle nose pliers, and rinse it under flowing water, if
the screen shows signs of extreme build-up it you can also try cleaning it with
an old toothbrush
Every
3 months remove the showerhead and soak overnight in a 50/50 solution of water
and vinegar, rinse thoroughly before reinstalling it, if you do not want to
remove the showerhead, we have another solution, fill a large Zip lock bag or
any suitable plastic bag with the same water/ vinegar solution place it on the
showerhead so the solution is fully covering the entire surface of the
showerhead, tie it with a twist or a zip tie, leave it soaking overnight, rinse
thoroughly .
Because
your showerhead is in a very humid environment, we recommend applying a light
coat of carnauba wax, this will add an additional barrier to preserve your
showerheads finish.
