Cleaning Your Sink's Spray Nozzle Naturally

We have very hard water where we live and it tends to cause build up pretty quickly.  Do you remember back HERE where I showed you the amazing "clean sink's friend" I found? Well, I thought why not clean the spray nozzle all at the same time? I didn't want to use the chemical cleaner to clean the nozzle for fear of it getting stuck down in the sprayer.  I used one simple ingredient.  I would imagine you'll have it it in your cupboard just like I did.
I used plain white distilled vinegar, like the kind you use for cooking.  Just pour enough to cover your nozzle in a bowl or cup and soak.  That's all I did and in about 30 minutes I went and checked and all the hard water build up was gone.
It didnt get all of the build up off, but it got the biggest part of it.  The nozzle looks 100% better now.  It goes with the new sparkling clean sink better than it did when I started, for sure!
I suppose if I would have let it soak even longer it may very well have dissolved the remaining build up.  I will try that next time I need to clean the nozzle again.
We may not have a nice new farm house sink just yet, but in the meantime we will have a nice looking vintage harvest gold sink with a clean spray nozzle!

It doesn't have to be done all at once.  It is a slow process in the works! C-ya next time!

      Hi Lori! I always use plain white vinegar, like the kind you use for cooking. :)

      How do you clean the spray hose? I will try that tip for the spray nozzle. Yes, my problem is with the hose and am beside myself at how to clean it or how to to replace it. I am an older women that tries to fix things herself.

      Hi there! I've never tried cleaning the hose, but I would imagine that you'd have to remove it and soak it in the vinegar for it to work well. Good luck! :)
