How remove mineral deposits from showerhead?

Just use the Limeaway but use it as directed and don't dilute it more than instructed. BTW Vinegar is an acid, you could just use the vinegar and soak it in that.

I wouldn't worry about residue from that stuff. I'm sure it will simply wash off. I'm fortunate in that my water isn't hard. What I get is tiny rocks like grains of sand and periodically I have to disassemble my shower head and wash them out to restore full flow capacity.

Fill a sturdy plastic sandwich bag half full of vinegar. Carefully lift it onto the showerhead, fasten with a rubberband, and let it soak overnight. Acid products should dissolve the mineral deposits, and vinegar is an acid.

I soak mine in vinegar, otherwise known as acetic acid.

Also, I get crusty deposits around the faucet base. Here, I roll a paper towel strip, wet it with vinegar, and press it around the faucet base. The next day, the deposits are gone, at least for another couple months. Much safer than the chemicals, especially if there are children in the house.

soak your head in CLR.

Yeah, but what about the showerhead?

Last time I tried that, it didn't work at all. I ended up throwing the shower head away and getting another one.

That's probably hard water scale. If so you need a water softener.

A product called CLR (calcium, lime, rust) worked well for me, just as advertised on TV. Of course, your mileage may vary. Most major supermarkets would carry it in the cleaning liquids aisle.
