Temple of personal hygiene… and residues of dirt and limescale

You visit him several times a week (normally) and you certainly spend more than an hour there weekly. According to ADEME, showering represents 40% of a French person's daily water consumption, or 60 L of water per day. But it is not because this place of personal hygiene sees liters of water and soap every day that it is clean.

Indeed, ideally your shower deserves that you give it a clean once or twice a week, to prevent it from changing color over time and hours of washing… This for a very simple reason. Indeed, the limescale present in the water can clog your shower, as can the dirt that you drain throughout your day, especially if you live in a polluting environment. Although it is often a question of micro-impurities, the accumulation of these as you pass under the jet of your shower head can be truly messy.

White vinegar, man's best friend

To get rid of limescale, nothing beats white vinegar! Much less toxic and more natural than other household products, white vinegar helps dissolve limescale thanks to its high acetic acid content. Additionally, it helps make surfaces shiny. Your shower will be like new after a simple wipe!

In addition to being natural, white vinegar is versatile. If you want to move on to a more general cleaning of your bathroom after taking care of your shower, don't hesitate!
