To do this, proceed as follows:

Add 4 generous spoonfuls of starch to a saucepan
Pour in the vinegar little by little until you get a homogeneous mixture
Cook over low heat so that it thickens well
Wait for the mixture to turn into a gel
Let yourself rest
Apply the cream to the entire surface of the shower head
Leave on for a few hours
Rinse everything out

What is the pool method?

This is a tip that only works on removable showerheads . However, it is very effective at removing stubborn limescale deposits .

Half fill a bowl with lukewarm water
Fill the other half with white vinegar and 70g baking soda
Immerse the disassembled knob in the solution for at least 3 hours
Rinse under running water with a brush or insert a needle into the holes without insisting too much
Install the shower head and run water

The other two tips

The first is to add two tablespoons of baking soda and white vinegar to a food bag and soak the shower head in it overnight . You can stabilize the bag by tying a knot or using a ribbon or elastic band. This is the trick with non-removable showerheads.

The second method is the fabric trick, in which you tie the kitchen towel generously soaked in vinegar over the shower head. The idea is not to squeeze the cloth. Next, wrap the cloth with cling film and let it rest overnight . The next day you will notice that the traces of limescale are transferred to the cloth and you only have to refine the cleaning with a brush before rinsing .
