Shower Head Clog

Do you barely have a trickle left in your shower because of mineral deposits and soap scum? Well, I can show you how to get rid of that build-up with products you probably already have in your home.

1. Remove the showerhead and put it in a bowl of undiluted vinegar. Let the fixture soak for a couple of hours. When you take it out of the vinegar, if there are some stubborn spots, just brush them with an old toothbrush until all of the scaling is gone.

2. If you cant get your shower head apart - don't worry, just fill a plastic bag with vinegar and secure it to the shower head with some heavy duty tape or string. Then let the bag soak overnight. In the morning the showerhead will be clean and deposit free. Just remember never to use vinegar on brass or brass plate.

3. For a faster clean up, in a small bowl mix together 1 teaspoon of alum and a quarter of a cup of lemon juice. Saturate a rag with the mixture and scrub the fixture the deposits will literally disappear.

Shower Doors

Shower doors can save you the fussing around that can come with shower curtains and hooks, but they can be difficult to keep clean. Here are some easy tips to help with yours.

1. Soap scum and mineral deposits will come off of those doors easily with some laundry pre-wash spray. Just spray it on, wait a minute and wipe it off.

2. Baby oil can also help break through that hardened scum. Just put some on a wash cloth and scrub the door clean.

3. You can prevent that build-up from occurring in the first place by buffing the door with some lemon oil on a soft cloth.

4. To clean your shower door track, pour some vinegar onto the track to fill the space. Then scrub it with a bottle brush. Lay some towels outside the tub and pour some hot water into the track to flush out the vinegar.
