Angie's How To Unclog Your Showerhead
Difficulty:
Time: 15 Minutes
Limescale and mineral buildup can clog water passages over time and decrease water pressure. This easy, nontoxic approach allows you to unclog your showerhead without removing it.
Tools & Materials Needed
plastic bag
baking soda
white vinegar
rubber band
1Find plastic bag
2Mix ingredients
Mix 1/3-cup baking soda with one-cup white vinegar in the bag. The baking soda will react with the vinegar causing it to bubble, so we recommend doing this in a sink.
3Place bag around showerhead
Secure the bag over your dirty showerhead with a rubber band. Make sure the head is completely covered in the solution. The acid in the vinegar reacts with sodium bicarbonate (in the baking soda) to form carbonic acid, a strong cleaning agent.
4Keep on showerhead overnight
Leave the bag with mixture on the showerhead overnight.
5Rinse the solution off
Wipe down the showerhead with water until the solution is gone and run the water for a minute before you step in.

BONUS: You can also grab a pin or needle and gently poke it through the showerhead holes to clear the passageways.
