How to clean and maintain your showerhead

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.
