Unclog Your Showerhead
Lime scale and mineral build-up can clog water passages over time and decrease water pressure. This easy, nontoxic approach allows you to unclog your showerhead without scrubbing or removing it.
What You'll Need:
plastic bag
Bicarb soda
white vinegar
rubber band
Step 1. Find a strong plastic bag that is large enough to fit around your showerhead. A grocery bag works well!
Step 2. Mix 1/3-cup bicarb soda with one cup of white vinegar in the bag. The bicarb soda will react with the vinegar causing it to bubble, so I suggest doing this over a sink or the bath in case it overflows.
Step 3. Put the bag over your dirty showerhead and secure with a rubber band. Make sure the head is completely covered in the bicarb solution. The acid in the vinegar reacts with sodium bicarbonate to form carbonic acid, a strong cleaning agent.
Step 4. Leave the bag on the showerhead overnight.
Step 5. in the morning, run the water through the showerhead for a minute, and then rinse the outside of the showerhead and arm until no trace of the bicarb solution remains.
Bonus: You can also grab a pin or needle and gently poke it through the showerhead holes to clear them.
