How To Clean A Clogged Shower Valve Cartridge Step 1: Remove handle and trim piece from the front of the valve body. Step 2: Remove the bonnet nut. Step 3: Tighten screws to stop water flow. Step 4: With channel lock pliers or hex wrench, unthread the cartridge and remove from valve body. Step 5: Soak the cartridge in white vinegar for an hour. Remove and rinse thoroughly in water. Step 6: Open the cold water side of the valve to flush the opening. Turn the valve just enough to let the water flow gently. Use a large bucket to catch the water or direct the water down.
