One of
the things that really needed some attention was to tackle the hard water build
up in our showerhead. I pretty much had
water going everywhere. I used a Ziploc
bag filled with about a cup of white vinegar and a rubber band to secure it
over the shower head and let it sit for 24 hours. I checked it and decided to go another 24
hours as it was pretty plugged up with calcium.
Once
softened, I used an old toothbrush I keep for scrubbing to clean up the
softened deposits and then ran the shower with warm water. No more water spraying all over. We now have a nice stream heading in the
proper direction.
While I
was at it I poured a little vinegar into a custard cup and left the end of the
kitchen sprayer to soak in it for 24 hours, clean it up with the toothbrush and
a wooden toothpick and it is working perfectly once again.
The
vinegar was reused to deodorize our milk pitchers and the kid’s drink
containers as well as to replace the fabric softener in a load of laundry. No waste in this house. The bag was rinsed out and hung to dry so it
will find another use as well.
Do you
have to battle hard water where you live?
