🧼 Why This Works
The sponge acts like a gentle internal scrubber:
- Dislodges biofilm and mineral residue
- Absorbs loose grime
- Deodorizes the hose naturally
- Improves water pressure by clearing blockages
And unlike chemical pipe cleaners, this method is safe, eco-friendly, and non-corrosive.
⚠️ A Few Tips and Warnings
- Make sure the sponge isn’t too large or dense—it needs to flow through the hose without getting stuck.
- Only use soft, non-abrasive sponges to avoid damaging the interior lining of the hose.
- Do not leave the sponge inside long-term—it’s a cleaning tool, not a filter.
✅ Bonus Tip: Prevent Future Buildup
After cleaning your hose, you can keep it fresh by:
- Running hot water for 30 seconds after each shower
- Using a shower filter to reduce hard water minerals
- Detaching and flushing the hose every few weeks
