Cleaning a sink hose, especially the spray head, typically involves removing mineral deposits and debris. Here's a breakdown of the process:
-
Prepare the Spray Head:
- First, put a clamp on the hose to prevent it from retracting into the spout. This will hold it in place while you work.
- Next, carefully unscrew the spray head from the end of the hose.
-
Soak the Spray Head:
- Prepare a cleaning solution of equal parts water and white vinegar. This is effective for dissolving mineral buildup.
- Submerge the spray head in the water and vinegar solution.
- Let it soak for a couple of hours to allow the solution to break down the deposits. For heavily clogged heads, you might want to soak it overnight.
-
Rinse and Reassemble:
- After soaking, thoroughly rinse the spray head under running water.
- Use a small brush or toothpick to remove any remaining debris from the nozzles.
- Finally, reattach the spray head to the hose, ensuring it's securely fastened.
By following these steps, you can effectively clean your sink hose's spray head and improve its performance.
