- Bath Silver: PowderRain, Hansgrohe
PowderRain is gentle AND effective. The many thousands of droplets rinse out shower gel and shampoo really thoroughly. And the new micro spray hardly produces any splashes. This means: less limescale = less cleaning. That’s good news in any bathroom. Especially in the open showers that are currently on trend.
