People urged to make 1 small change to stop yellow stains appearing in shower

Households are urged to fit or replace a shower-head filter to reduce yellow stains and mould in showers caused by mineral-rich water and humidity.
Water in many homes contains iron, hard minerals and sediment, and moisture and humidity after showering worsen yellow stains with heat, soap and body oils, experts say.
Choose a filter with proven media and plan to replace it regularly, ideally every three months; activated carbon and KDF filters outperform bead-style filters, with Afina, Jolie, The Cold Life, and Hello Klean as leading options.
Installing or replacing a filter can reduce minerals reaching tiles and glass, helping prevent yellow tinting, but James Roberts and Emily Robertson advise researching filters due to varied water quality.
Filtration removes impurities like chlorine, heavy metals and iron that contribute to staining, and experts say filter devices complement other methods to manage hard-water staining for households.
