Weak shower spray? Clean nozzle mineral deposits by model

Delta recommends rubbing flexible Touch-Clean nozzles clean. Certain other heads allow diluted vinegar, but that method is not suitable for every finish.

White mineral scale can obstruct a shower spray. Delta and KOHLER recommend gentle nozzle care, but cleaner tolerance varies with the finish. Check the exact model before vinegar soaking.

0 / 6 done

Turn off the water, ensure the fixture is cool, and check its model and surface finish.
Look for mineral crust on spray holes; do not dismantle hidden wall valves.
If the maker permits it, gently rub flexible rubber nozzles with a finger or soft damp cloth.
Avoid wire brushes, harsh scouring pads and abrasive powders. Briefly run water to check the spray.
Only use vinegar if the exact model permits it. Delta describes a 1:1 white-vinegar/water solution for some heads, not every finish.
Rinse away approved cleaner, wipe dry, and seek professional advice if blockages or leaks persist.
