Put the power back in your shower for less than $5
Has your shower been spitting at you lately? Get the shower stream back to its heyday by removing lime, scale and minerals from both outside—and inside—the showerhead.
• Simply remove it from the shower arm (use a wrench rather than pliers to protect the finish; if an adjustable wrench, make sure its a snug fit to prevent rolling the corners of the fitting over).
• Next, place the showerhead in a bowl then cover with a 50-50 solution of vinegar and water solution.
• For stubborn deposits, rub with a toothbrush.
• Replace the showerhead.
Note: you may want to wrap the threads on the shower arm with new Teflon tape prior to installing the showerhead to prevent leaks. You’ll need a bottle of vinegar ($3) and thread seal (Teflon) tape ($1.20). Total cost: $4.20
