Explosive Showerhead Cleaner
Use this "explosive" homemade cleaner to blast away all of those hard water deposits that are blocking your showerhead:
Here's an easy DIY recipe:
-1/3 cup baking soda
-1 cup white vinegar
-1 plastic bag
-1 large bag twisty tie
1. Mix baking soda and vinegar in bag over a sink. Caution: Pour vinegar into bag slowly, there is an "explosive" foaming action that kicks in.
2. Place bag over showerhead. Be sure it is submerged in the baking soda/vinegar solution.
3. Secure with twisty tie.
4. Let the showerhead soak in the solution overnight or for at least 2-3 hours.
5. Wipe off showerhead prior to use.
Enjoy your free flowing showerhead! Pretty easy and cheap, huh?

Cool! I need to figure out how to do this to my bathtub spigot.
LOVE IT! THANK YOU!! I needed this.
Great tip! I need to try this.
This is the method I always use to unclog my showerhead. It works great!
And better than using POISON CLR. I know its not really poison, but after using cleaning stuff that you don't have to wear gloves for - I see most all cleaners as scary!
Baking soda and vinegar are my bestest friends! I love this idea. :)
Awesome, I use this mixture to clear out the bathroom drains. It never would have occurred to me to clean the shower head with it!
Wonderful idea.. I think I will pin it....
Thanks...
Filing away for later. :-) Thanks.
Doing this tonight!
I love this idea of attaching the solution in a baggie. When the shower head needs cleaning, I usually grab a wrench and detach it so I can poke all of the water holes with a pin to clear them out and then soak it in baking powder mixture. This way I clean the inside also.
definitely going to try this, thanks!
Thanks...I'm saving this one...xo
I've never used this on my shower head, but I use it to clean my toilet, and it works wonders!
This is brilliant. Much better than unnecessarily buying a new shower head. I'm going to link to this on my weekly wrap up. I think a lot of people would like to know it is that easy to clean a shower head!
What a great idea. I probably should use this on my whole bathroom.:)
What a great idea! Karima
Ohh.. simple yet effective! Ill have to remember this :) Stopping by from the Sasse Life.
Ps.. I would love for you to link this up to my Friday link party coming up! :) Its full of thrifty goodness!
We have such hard water that I buy distilled vinegar in bulk! I like your idea better. I pull the shower heads off and soak them. It's much more of an ordeal.
Never thought to do this!!! Love.
I'll have to try this tip, thanks!
Nice!
Thanks so much for sharing! I'll def. give this a try!
What a great idea! I am going to do this!! :) I am a new follower to your blog! :) Erin
This method worked great!!! Although I used packing tape for a more secure hold. Thank you for sharing. :)
Doesn't the baking soda neutralize the vinegar? I would think you'd just end up with a bag of slightly salty water.
