Cleaning questions

[SC Minnie]

We have hard water and mineral deposits build up on the shower heads. What is the best way the clean these? I though I had read somewhere about a 'home' recipe with vinegar maybe?

If you can't remove the shower head (I wouldn't unless you're going to replace it) then take a zip lock bag and put a some vinegar in the bag. Then slip bag onto the shower head so the head gets partially immersed in the vinegar. Tie the bag to the pipe above the shower head so it stays on. Leave for an hour and then remove the bag (carefully). If there is still some deposits on the shower head, repeat the process (reuse the same bag and vinegar for another hour).

Thanks, I am assuming white vinegar?

I remember reading about the vinegar trick, I was going to use it. I was in the shower stall cleaning, and I used the magic eraser on it, it worked like a charm. Less messy than vinegar and very effective for me.

I use straight white vinegar and it sure does do the trick!!!!! Hard water spots come right off.

I think you need to respond to the crush thread, then.

Yeah, but you told me the other night you were teasing about having said that Charade was actually Will. Now that was crushing.

I was just teasing. He is really Will...not Ed.

That is a HUGE relief.

Hey, did you know he's renting rooms now? We could split the cost of one.

P.S. I also do windows.

Are you happy now? Should I confess all to my husband?
