Moen Attract Shower Head Review
Updated: Sep. 29, 2022My family has been using a 'telephone'-style shower for quite a while now.

Though we like having the handheld sprayer, there have always been some problems. The sprayer fits into a little bracket, but sometimes twists so the spray goes sideways. My wife, who is almost blind when she takes her glasses off, has a heck of a time getting the sprayer back where it goes. And ditto for our grandchildren, who can’t reach it easily. However, the new Moen Attract handheld shower with magnetic docking may have solved all those problems.
The sprayer is held to its base with a magnet and is designed to slip into place every time, perfectly aligned. No twisting, and no need to lift it high to get it out. Some other nice features: six spray patterns, a 60-in. kink-free metal hose and the choice of a spot-resistant brushed nickel finish. Installation is as simple as unscrewing the older showerhead and screwing on the new one, with a little Teflon tape for insurance. The Attract showerhead is a couple inches lower than the telephone-style unit it replaced, so if you’re tall, you should consider that.
You can find the Moen Attract shower heads or a Moen Magnetix shower head at some Home Depot stores and online at Amazon. The chrome model is about $45, and the Spot Resist brushed nickel with the push-button feature is $70. But if the Moen shower head isn’t to your particular liking, you’ll want to see these 10 transformative shower heads.

Showerhead
Your showerhead should get a wipe down every two weeks, and a deep cleaning twice a year or more depending on how much use it’s getting. Don’t fear, you won’t have to remove your showerhead to clean it, you just need a few items you probably have around the house to give it a solid cleaning.
Laundry Hamper
If your laundry hamper is made of plastic, you’re in luck! You might just want to wipe it down every once in a while, but if it’s fabric-lined you’ll need to give it a spin in your washer’s delicate cycle to rid it of any lingering odors and grime. These are the best household cleaning supplies around.
Hairbrushes
Even if you pull the hair out of your hairbrushes and combs, they should still get a little rinse off every so often to get rid of any lingering debris and residue left behind from your hair products. Give them an overnight soak in warm water and baking soda (seriously, what can’t baking soda do?) to have them feeling brand new.
Trash Cans
Absorb any lingering odors with a weekly sprinkle of baking soda at the bottom, but a wipe down every once in a while wouldn’t hurt either to get rid of any spillage or stickiness left behind from dinner’s past. Plus: You've believed these 14 cleaning myths for way too long.
Shower Curtains
Your shower curtain attracts all kinds of yucky mildew and more from being in a moist environment like a steamy shower, so it’s best to give it a good wipe down with baking soda or a turn in the washer every once in a while. Learn how to make your own cleaning solution with simple ingredients.
Remote Controls
Your remote controls and game controllers might be forgotten about in the age of Netflix, but they’re still something that should get a good cleaning every once in a while. Just make sure to remove batteries if you’re spraying anything directly onto the remote, but a microfiber cloth should do the trick. Plus: These are the secret cleaning tips from professional house cleaners.
Steering Wheel
Your steering wheel carries with it the germs that your hands have brought from wherever your day may take you. Even if you are diligent about vacuuming your car interior and taking it for a spin in the car wash, your steering wheel might not get wiped down as often as it should be.
Doorknobs and Locks
Between the pantry, your front door, and especially your bathroom, doorknobs are centers for a germ party that you don’t want to be a part of (they’re among the dirtiest spots in your home). Just wipe them down with a disinfectant at least once a week to keep germs away.
