How to remove rust from shower heads
Shower heads come into contact with water on a daily basis and are highly susceptible to rust. Rusty shower heads spoil the look of your bathroom and can affect the smooth functioning of the shower. People often use household ingredients like vinegar, soap, and baking soda to remove rust. However, these can take time to achieve the desired result.
If you want to remove rust from shower heads, without wasting any time, turn to WD-40 Multi Use Product. The liquid acts on the most notorious rust stains and provides you with sparkling clean objects in no time.
Things you will need
WD-40® Multi-Use Product
Cleaning cloth
Wire brush or sandpaper
Step 1
Clean the shower head
If the shower head has accumulated any dust or dirt, first, make sure you clean it. Just use a cotton cloth and your regular bathroom cleaning products. This will make the rust-removal process easier and more effective.
Step 2
Spray with WD-40 Multi Use Product
Next, take a can of WD-40 Multi-Use Product and spray it carefully onto the rusted areas.
Do not start wiping off the stains immediately. Let the product sit for a few minutes. WD-40 penetrates between the rust particles and loosens the bond between them. This makes it easy for you to remove the rust.
Step 3
Scrub at rusted areas
Now, take a scrubbing brush or a wire brush and gently start wiping the rust off the shower head.
In most cases, a single cleaning session is enough. However, if the rust stains are old, you may need to repeat the process one more time. You can also use sandpaper to give a finishing touch to the process.
Job Done
And that is it! This is how simple it is to remove rust from bathroom shower heads using WD-40. With WD-40, you can clean almost every metal object within a few minutes and protect it from rust build-up in the future.
