The shower has been used for a long time, and the water flow is intermittent, or the water flow becomes smaller, or it is blocked. If the shower is blocked, it will almost break the family’s bath. Children’s shoes that are used to the shower, once they are out of the shower, there is nothing to do. A clogged shower is not only difficult to clean, but also likely to breed bacteria. It is not so easy to clean the densely packed shower holes, so I specifically consulted a master who has been in the industry for more than 20 years. He gave me some tips, which were quite effective unexpectedly, and I will share them with you now.
1. Soak in white vinegar and water
When the carbonate in the water accumulates too much, it will become scale and block the shower hole. The best way to deal with the carbonate is to neutralize it with acid. The ratio of white vinegar and water is 1:1, soaking for 3-4 hours will take effect. Be careful not to use strong acid, which will corrode the metal material of the nozzle.
2. Remove the nozzle for cleaning
Some stubborn stains are not stuck in the nozzle hole, but stuck in a deeper place. Then you need to remove the shower nozzle for cleaning, shake the spout downwards gently, and pour out the debris, pay attention to the removal and installation.
3. Use small objects around you to clean up
The above method needs to disassemble the nozzle, which is troublesome. We can use small objects around us, such as embroidery needles when mending. Pierce the pillow into each water outlet hole one by one to make the scale fall off the inner wall of the water outlet hole, and then pour water into the nozzle from the water inlet. In addition, an unused toothbrush can also clean the shower surface.
In addition to cleaning the shower when it is blocked, you should also pay attention to the daily maintenance of the shower, otherwise no matter how good the method is, it will not be “remedy”.
1. The operating environment temperature should not exceed 70 degrees Celsius, and try to stay away from heat source appliances such as Yuba, otherwise it will accelerate the aging of the shower and shorten the service life of the shower.
2. When switching on and off the shower faucet and adjusting the water outlet mode of the shower, do not use too much force, just turn it gently according to the trend. Even a traditional faucet doesn’t require much effort. Pay special attention not to support or use the faucet handle and shower bracket as armrests.
3. The shower should be cleaned at least every six months. On weekdays, wipe the electroplated surface of the shower with a soft cloth dipped in a little flour, and then rinse with water to make the surface of the shower as bright as new.
4. Scale removal: every six months or less, remove the shower head and place it in a small basin, water the surface and inside of the shower head with edible white vinegar and soak for 4-6 hours, then wipe it gently with a cotton cloth Spout on the surface of the shower: After reinstalling the connector, let the water flow for a while, and wait for the white vinegar and scale to flow out with the water, so as to eliminate or reduce the impact of the scale on the shower, and have a certain bactericidal effect.
5. Maintenance of the electroplating surface: often wipe the electroplating surface of the shower with a soft cloth sticking a little flour, and then rinse with clean water to make the surface of the shower as bright as new.
Precautions:
1. Please pay attention to yourself and the safety of the product when disassembling the shower.
2. The filter gasket should not be used if the mesh is too large or too fine. If it is too large, it may have no filtering effect, and if it is too fine, it may affect the flow. The filter mesh size is preferably 40-60 mesh.
3. Do not use strong acid when removing scale, so as not to cause corrosion to the surface of the shower.
4. Do not disassemble the shower for maintenance by yourself. Improper disassembly will damage the appearance and internal structure of the product.
5. The ambient temperature of the shower should not exceed 70C. High temperature and ultraviolet light will greatly accelerate the aging of the shower and shorten the service life of the shower. Therefore, the installation of the shower should be kept away from heat sources such as Yuba and other electrical appliances. The shower cannot be installed directly under the Yuba, and the distance should be more than 60CM.
