If you’ve ever experienced a weak shower stream, you know how frustrating it can be. Often, the culprit is a clogged showerhead, which can result from mineral deposits and sediment buildup. My mom, a master of household hacks, had a simple trick to fix this issue overnight without any scrubbing. This method is not only effective but also incredibly easy, saving you time and effort while ensuring your showerhead is as good as new by morning.

To perform this showerhead cleaning hack, you’ll need just a few household items: a plastic bag (a sturdy sandwich or freezer bag works well), white vinegar, a rubber band or twist tie, and optionally, a soft cloth for wiping down the showerhead afterward. These materials are likely already in your home, making this hack both convenient and cost-effective.

Start by filling the plastic bag with enough white vinegar to submerge the showerhead’s nozzles.

Carefully place the bag over the showerhead, ensuring that the nozzles are fully immersed in the vinegar.

Secure the bag in place with a rubber band or twist tie, making sure it’s tight enough to hold the bag but not so tight that it damages the fixture. Leave the bag in place overnight.

The next morning, remove the bag and run the shower to flush out any loosened debris. If desired, use a soft cloth to wipe down the showerhead, removing any remaining residue.
