A long time ago I changed out the faucets in my kitchen to one that includes a spray nozzle. Over time half the holes have become clogged and has become not as useful. Recently, I noticed that the water in my shower has not been coming out properly. A couple of the sprays are going in two completely different directions which is really annoying when I have to turn off the shower as I always get sprayed on the side of my face. Every time I get out of the shower I remind myself that I have to figure out a way unclog it and then another week goes by.
The other day I finally remembered to research a way to solve the problem which led me to an article online that recommended using regular white vinegar. Now, I've heard of people using vinegar as an eco-friendly cleaning solution but to unclog a shower head?
Curiosity got the best of me and since I had some in my cupboard, I decided to give it a whirl.
I filled half a glass with vinegar and submersed the kitchen sprayer in it and because I have a hand held shower, I poured a good amount in a bowl, just enough to cover the shower head and let it work its magic. If you don't have a hand held, you can secure a ziploc bag around it with some elastics.
The article recommended letting it soak for 8 hours but I checked mine after 3 and voila! They were working just like new. All clogs were gone!
If you're looking for a chemical free option to clear the build up in your shower head or kitchen sprayer, try some good old white vinegar! It's a cheap and cheerful solution that really works!
