*Remove showerhead deposits with vineger. For metal showerheads, mix 1/2 cup vinegar and 1 quart water in a pot. Submerg in mixture, then boil for 15 minutes. For plastic showerhead, mix 1 pint vinegar with 1 pint hot water in a bowl and let showerhead soak for an hour. Scrub off deposits with a toothbrush.
