“Bet you’ve never heard of this Vaseline hack,” he says, while being a real creepo.
“If you want to preserve the lifespan of your plumbing fixtures, do this.”

“Take a little Vaseline, make sure your fixture is dry. And then what you’re gonna do is just take Vaseline. You’re gonna rub it all inside and around the spray nozzles, just like this.

“Especially your rain shower heads. Give it a wipe, then a swipe, another wipe with Vaseline, all around these spray nozzles, just like this.”

“Once you apply the Vaseline to each of your plumbing fixtures, just go with a towel and just give it a little bit of a wipe, leaving a barrier of Vaseline. This is going to prevent the calcification from building up and ruining your fixtures.”
