Maintenance
Cleaning: To maintain the finish and performance of your showerhead, clean it regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the vintage bronze finish.
Mineral Deposit Removal: If mineral deposits accumulate on the nozzles, gently rub them with your finger or a soft brush to dislodge the buildup. For stubborn deposits, a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water can be applied to the nozzles for a short period, then rinsed thoroughly.
