First, when to clean the shower
Shower is best cleaned once half a year, “usually no big problems, but if not used for a long time, it is best to clean before using again, which is a more scientific approach.”
The use of citric acid is good for descaling. Shower is a combination of copper nozzle and hand, in order to avoid the blockage of the water outlet hole, she generally chooses copper, rather than the hand-held shower containing rubber rings, “rubber is easy to block.”
Before use, you can let the hot water flow for a while, which can play a sterilization role; When taking a shower, try not to get water into your eyes, mouth, etc.
When cleaning the shower head, soak it in a mixture of white vinegar and water with a ratio of 1:9 for 1 hour, or use bleach powder and disinfectant to clean it. It is best to clean it every 6 months. If it is used for a long time, you can also consider replacing it with a new one.
Second, how to do if the shower has scale
Too much scale will block the pipe, resulting in the deterioration of heat transfer on the heating surface, thereby wasting fuel or electricity. The frequent use of water containing scale to wash your face and take a bath will form calcium and magnesium soap, which is sticky like a gum and sticks to the face and skin, making the dirt not easy to remove. Dirt is not washed, blocking the opening of the skin gland, forming embolism, affecting normal metabolism, making the skin prematurely atrophy and aging. If washing clothes with soap, hard water will reduce the soap’s decontamination ability. Because the calcium and magnesium ions in the hard water are playing a role. These ions will replace the sodium ions in the normal decontamination ingredients of soap, resulting in a large amount of scum in the soap water, while the foaming property is poor, and the decontamination ability is reduced. Some people are not acclimatized, which may be related to water quality. In particular, people who do not often drink hard water may cause gastrointestinal disorders and uncomfortable symptoms.
It can be seen that there are many small tips for removing scale, such as wiping with vinegar or potatoes. But these methods are often better than never, symptoms do not cure the root cause, only when the scale appears, you will find a way to remove it. Wouldn’t it be better if we stopped scale production?
