Is your shower running a little slow?
You can unclog your showerhead by soaking it in vinegar for about an hour. If it is really clogged boil your vinegar and soak your showerhead in this for about an hour to loosen all the hard water and lime. This should only be used on metal showerheads, if you have plastic you will have to stick with the soaking in cool vinegar to remove hard ware and lime in your showerhead.
If your showerhead is clogged but you can’t unscrew it to soak in vinegar, bring the vinegar to the showerhead! Using a plastic bag filled with vinegar lift it up to the showerhead and tape it on there over night. Be sure not to tape on your paneling, or paint as you could pull the finish off! The next morning take off the bag and the vinegar, your showerhead will be much cleaner. Repeat as needed to reach areas deep inside of the clogged showerhead.
Shower doors
If you have shower doors instead of a shower curtain, you can add wiping the shower door walls off with vinegar or ammonia to your weekly cleaning to keep soap and hard water stains to a minimum. Using either full strength will leave you with a clean shine that you will be proud of.
Hard water stains
If you have particular hard water stains that have been building up over the years, you can use a cream of tarter and vinegar paste to loosen these stains.
Shower door tracks
The shower door tracks will often get moldy if you don’t pay particular attention in this area. Simply pouring full strength vinegar into the tracks of the shower door and letting it sit over night before rinsing will keep mold and hard water at bay.
Bath tub
To clean really hard water stains off of your tub, walls, or on your faucets, soak a cloth in vinegar and lay it over the stain over night. The next morning, you can use a baking soda and vinegar paste with a toothbrush to finish tackling this job.
Floors
Using a wet towel to keep dust off the corners of the floor during the week will relieve some of the deep cleaning that you have to do each week.
