Maintenance and Cleaning
Maintaining your Delta 52668 shower head is simple, thanks to its innovative design features.

The Lumicoat finish is engineered to repel liquids and resist water spots, making it easy to keep your shower head looking new. Simply wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth after each use to prevent water spots and mineral buildup.
Touch-Clean Spray Holes:
The soft, rubber Touch-Clean spray holes allow you to easily wipe away calcium and lime buildup from the spray face with the touch of a finger. This prevents clogging and ensures consistent spray performance.
General Cleaning:
- For general cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
