Over time, the fixture can get clogged with buildup from mineral deposits and residue, so it's a good idea to deep clean it once in a while.

Luckily, you can easily clean your shower head with just one kitchen staple, according to a cleaning expert.

STEP 1: REMOVE THE SHOWERHEAD

First things first, start by completely removing your shower head from the fixture or hose.

STEP 2: SOAK IN VINEGAR

According to Lauren Bowen from Two Maids & A Mop, white vinegar is the perfect solution to a gunky shower head.

You'll want to pour the vinegar into a bag or bin larger than your shower head and let soak.

Bowen “Leave it submerged for at least an hour, or overnight if you need a deep clean.

"The vinegar will loosen the mineral deposits naturally.”

STEP 3: SCRUB CLEAN

After a good soak, remove the showerhead from the vinegar and gently scrub away any debris.
