I got this fancy-ass shower head a few years ago as a gift. My buddy bought it and then didn't like it or got a different one or something, I don't remember why he had an extra one, but he did.
It's fairly large with lots of little hole for the water to come out and it still has a good amount of pressure, which I like.
I've had it for a couple years now and lately I've noticed the little holes are getting clogged, with some not working at all. It was not a big deal and it even made the pressure or the water even higher, which I like, so I didn't do anything about it. Until one of the holes started shooting water out at an odd angle. Now it was pointed right at my face and the pressure felt like double. It almost felt like a blade ffs.
OK, it was not that bad, but it was now at the point that I had to try to clean the minerals that were clogging the holes.
I didn't want to use chemicals or buy some product, so I went to the internet for a solution; spoiler alert, it didn't work xD
It was some concoction of vinegar and baking soda, mixed in a bag then tied to the shower head so it was submerged, like so...
I left it on for probably 12 hours, took it off and 💥 nothing changed when I turned it on for a shower yesterday. I just grabbed a couple toothpicks at that point, got in the shower and started poking the little holes where no water was coming out and lo and behold, water started flowing!
I was careful not to break off the tip of the toothpick in the hole, and it worked like a charm.
Haha, often vinegar and baking soda works magic .. we've used it for all sorts of things but never for a clogged shower. Too bad it didn't work, thank gawd for the good old toothpick :)

I didn't know you were such a great plumber! CLR is your friend. Embrace the chemicals.
You should see my top notch electrical work!
My hero…..

As always 😂🤣

The humble tooth pick come to the rescue! CLR works too but you have to buy it and then find way to keep the shower head immersed long enough to chelate that calcium and magnesium. When internet fixes fail (which is most of the time) you always can have faith in your loyal toothpick!
