If you’ve installed low-flow shower heads to save money, you may be getting a weaker flow than you’re used to. Some low-flow heads spray vigorously, and others, not so much. A major issue is buildup overtime which can weaken your already lighter flow head to an unbearable pressure.
The easy fix:
Vinegar – yup, I swear vinegar will fix everything. Ok, not everything, but it will clean your low-flow shower head.
- Take your shower head off.
- Clean what you can of the holes with a paper clip, pin, or other small item. Be careful not to scratch the head.
- Rinse the shower head with clean water.
- Place it in a bowl of white basic vinegar overnight.
- Rinse with clear, clean water in the morning.
- Replace your shower head.
Vinegar naturally fights icky mineral deposits without harsh chemicals or yucky scents.
