Clean a Clogged Showerhead With a Bag of Vinegar

When half the showerhead holes spray sideways and the pressure feels weak, mineral deposits are clogging the nozzles. You don't need a new showerhead — you need a sandwich bag.

How to do it

1. Fill a sturdy plastic bag halfway with white vinegar.
2. Lift it up so the showerhead is fully submerged in the vinegar.
3. Secure the bag to the neck with a rubber band or zip tie.
4. Leave it overnight.
5. Remove the bag, run the shower hot for a minute, and scrub any stubborn holes with an old toothbrush.

Pressure comes back like new. In hard-water areas like ours, do this every six months or so.
