Is your showerhead not operating up to par? Are you routinely getting sporadic sprays or a stream of water that just isn’t as powerful as it once was?

Showerheads do have a life span and will need to be replaced, but others may be revived with just a little cleaning. That’s because lime and other hard-water deposits could be compromising water spray.

You can clean them by removing the showerhead and soaking it in a solution of vinegar for several hours. Use a thin wire to poke through any holes in the head that still may be clogged after a thorough soaking.
