Remove hard water build-up on showerheads & faucets

Hard water and the backsplash of soap when you're washing your hair can easily clog up your showerhead and faucets over time. If you can't remember the last time you cleaned it, or you've noticed your flow hasn't been as strong as it once was, now is a great time to give it a good soak and possibly even a scrub. You'll need CLR  or vinegar, a quart or gallon-sized food baggie, and some rubber bands.

A showerhead or faucet cleaning trick to make this process super-easy and less messy, but your main goal is to get a bag of solution strapped onto your shower nozzle. We find CLR works best but combining 1/2 cup of baking soda with 1 cup of white vinegar.Then add in 1 cup of water and strap the bag over the nozzle using rubber bands to hold it on, making sure the nozzle head is completely submerged in the mixture. Let it soak for 10 minutes with CLR or four hours with vinegar, then run the water a few minutes and a good wipe down with a washcloth.

In the alternative a Nova Water softener will solve the issue
