Both mounted, and handheld shower heads have advantages, but if you’ve been using a mounted shower head for a while and want to experiment with a new portable shower head, you might be pleasantly surprised. A handheld shower head’s adaptability enables various additional uses and conveniences. Check out these six advantages of handheld shower heads before you buy your next shower head at Mixermate:

Great for Simple Rinsing

Resist the temptation of dry shaving when you’re pressed for time. Simply turn on the water in your shower, lather some soap, and rinse while you shave using the handheld shower head. Grab the handheld shower head and start rinsing if your kids merely need to have their feet washed after playing outside at some time. Simple rinsing without getting sopped with water is made easy with handheld shower heads.

Helpful in Cleaning Your Shower

You can easily clean the walls of your shower with handheld shower heads. Have you ever struggled to completely remove the soap suds off your shower doors and walls after cleaning them? A handheld shower head allows you to easily rinse every inch of your shower back off after a thorough cleaning, while the streams from a mounted shower head only rinse the shower walls halfway.

Provides Assisted Showering

A shower head may improve the comfort and convenience of a home for people of all ages, from young children to the elderly. If you have any older family members living in your house, a handheld shower head is a terrific benefit for assisting impaired people in showering or providing those who have been disabled the opportunity to shower effortlessly by themselves. Elderly people who use handheld shower heads feel more independent and can regain some of their independence.

Offers Less Strenuous 

When taking a shower, you must move around so that the water streams hit your body where needed to rinse off lathered soap. However, this can make taking a shower a painful, taxing activity if you’re tight or sore, suffering from arthritis pain, dealing with an accident, or having another physical limitation. You can just draw down a handheld shower hose and bring the water streams to you rather than moving your body about to allow the streams to reach various parts of your body.

Great in Helping Reach Hard to Reach Places

You are no longer required to strain to rinse thick conditioner or shampoo out of your hair. Hand-held shower heads are ideal for swiftly and thoroughly rinsing your hair. With a handheld shower head, you can move it near your head and direct the water wherever you want it to go for a smooth rinse without having to worry about losing soap suds or turning your head 90 degrees to rinse awkward locations like behind your ears. You won’t have to be concerned about trying to rinse your hairline while running soapy water over your face and into your eyes.

Excellent Versatility

Simply mount your handheld shower head back to your wall if you decide that you’d prefer to continue using a conventional mounted shower head. A handheld shower head can be mounted or used as a separate, detachable shower head. When taking a shower, you can use the handheld shower head’s extended reach for specific tasks, then simply re-attach it to use both hands when necessary. You still have the choice to utilise a mounted shower head hands-free on days you prefer, and you can benefit from the best of both worlds.

Even though the laundry is where tasks are completed, that doesn’t imply it has to be a dull task. This area has the potential to become one of your home’s most unexpected spaces with the correct decor. A laundry room doesn’t simply have to just be functional; it can also be decorative. This is a fantastic venue to showcase your creativity and interior design prowess.

Laundry tap mixers are one topic that Mixermate Australia is quite knowledgeable about. We have created and fitted laundry taps for some of Australia’s most prestigious residences. Therefore, we have compiled some things you need to consider when choosing your laundry tap mixers.

Consider the Price

Without question, managing a budget while building or renovating can be difficult. Spending money on tapware is a wise decision. Long-term time and financial savings can be realised by purchasing a high-quality tap.

Better taps will be more effective, providing sufficient pressure and making it simpler to complete their intended duties. Despite how much you might enjoy using your new washing appliances, you should focus on more pressing matters, like spending time with your loved ones.

Durability and Quality

To avoid replacing your taps every few years, you should also look for something built to last. A high-quality tap will also last longer and leak less frequently, saving you money on maintenance.

Taps made of solid brass that has been electroplated are extremely scratch- and stain-resistant. European ceramic cartridges and other tough internal parts guarantee continued performance and durability.

Consider the Functionality

Your laundry must first and foremost be functional. Want to be prepared for the unavoidable need to fill the bucket, wash the pet, or clean the muddy soccer boots? Install a deep sink and a high spout first. The additional working height will be invaluable for those tasks that aren’t particularly enjoyable. Designs like the pulldown and gooseneck spout are extremely effective.

Check Your Water Pressure

Checking your water pressure is another suggestion. Consult a plumber to determine the best option for your home because a high-pressure system can result in a lot of splashing when the tap is switched on. Also, different flow rates are available for laundry tap mixers, which you might want to consider if you frequently fill buckets or big tubs.

Choose the Tap Finish

Your tap’s finish is extremely important, which might be coloured lacquer or chrome that has been satin-brushed or polished to a beautiful lustre. Verify that the finest quality materials were utilised and that the chrome plating is thick enough. Never use harsh detergents that could damage the chrome finish while cleaning your faucets.

Now that you have a few exact technical signs to help you select your laundry tap mixers, you can let your creativity go wild. At Mixermate, we can assure you that you will have many options to choose from to make sure that you will be able to pick the ideal one to complete your laundry experience.
