how to unclog a shower head?

[Dee67]

Bought a waterpik showerhead maybe 2-3 months ago, already the stream coming out of it is "shooting crooked" and with less force, some of the little holes don't have water coming out at all.

The head itself can't be taken apart so the solution would need to work from the outside..

Thanks!!

Soak it with some CLR. That stuff works miracles.

Put your lips around it - and blow really hard. Works well for...um, my friend.

Unclog the showerhead
Corrosion may be removed from showerheads or faucets by soaking them in diluted distilled vinegar overnight. This may be easily
accomplished by saturating a terry cloth towel in vinegar and wrapping it around the showerhead or faucet.

Just take it apart and soak the nozzle in vinegar overnight.

i just bought a $100 something shower head, I would understand if you want to clean it. But if its a $5 head, just get a new one.

The cheapest way to un-clog a shower head that is clogged from &quot;Hard Water&quot; is to soak it in a solution of water and a lot of Country Time Lemonade&quot;. It's cheap and it works

 

[Stiggy]

which is cheaper vinegar or lemonade ?

 

[gumbysucks]

'd use vinegar for that just washed freshness..sounds like a douche commercial..smells like one too!

Vinegar was on sale at K-Mart for $0.45.

Cheapest solution, vinegar.


Note the pun.

excellent.

Thanks all. It's a $45 one that's only 3 months old, so the new one option is kind of redundant I think

CLR sounds good, but the vinegar sounds even better since I already have it and see the results in the morning.

Thanks again!
