How to Clean Out a Showerhead. It's hard to wash away your troubles when your showerhead
is jam-packed with mineral deposits and lime. You will need A bucket or large bowl A bottle
of white vinegar An old toothbrush and a toothpick. Step 1. Gently unscrew the showerhead and
remove it. If it won’t budge, make sure there are no small screws holding it in place.
Step 2. If your showerhead is made of more than one piece, take it apart. Step 3. Place
the pieces in the bucket or large bowl. Step 4. Pour the white vinegar over the parts until
they are completely covered. Step 5. Let the bucket or bowl sit for a few hours. Let your
showerhead soak overnight -- or if you’re in a hurry, boil it for 15 minutes in a solution
of one part vinegar to four parts water. Step 6. Scrub the pieces with an old toothbrush.
Step 7. Clean the holes of the showerhead with a toothpick. Step 8. Put the pieces back
together, reattach the showerhead, and run the shower to flush it clear. Soon you’ll
be clean too! Did you know The patent for the first indoor shower was granted in 1867.
