Clean and maintain product How to clean shower head nozzles 1. Just rub the nozzles with your finger or toothbrush to loosen any deposits, and then run hot water for a few minutes. 2. Put the showerhead into a pot. Consider using a smaller container that just about fits the showerhead; this way, you will use less vinegar. You can also use a small bucket or plastic bin. Fill the pot with enough white vinegar to cover the showerhead.
