Easy Shower Head Decrustifying

If you don't have a water softner then you've likely seen scale and funk build up on your shower head. This is the easiest, least toxic way to dump the funk and improve the flow of your shower head.

Step 1: The Haves

Here are the three things absolutely necessary for this cleaning project.

* A zipper type bag (or a plastic bag from a retail store, but obvious it must not have any holes)

* A rubber band (you could also use any kind of tape you have laying around)

* Distilled Vinegar (if you have access to a higher acidity vinegar (20% acidity) this would work even better, but regular strength (5%) works perfectly well . . . and apparently this picture indicates that Kroger's brand is made of grapes, bananas, tomatoes, and practically every fruit or vegetable known to man. I call bulls**t on that.)

When you say "...you can add hydrogen peroxide or bleach to the bag..." I suppose do not mix them with vinegar. This is acid, the others are alkaline, and they cancel mutually.

Hydrogen peroxide is actually mildly acidic, but that can vary based on dilution. Good point about the bleach though. I hadn't considered that. It would be something to do separately from the scale removal.

Good. Go forth and do.
