- Make a paste using 2 parts baking soda to 1 part vinegar.
It will fizz slightly—totally normal! - Apply to affected areas and let sit for 15–20 minutes.
- Scrub gently with a toothbrush or cloth.
- Rinse and dry.
💡 Pro Tips
- Don’t use abrasive scrubbers—they can scratch the finish.
- If your showerhead is removable, soaking it in a bowl of vinegar can be more effective.
- For ongoing prevention, clean faucets once a month and consider installing a water softener if you have very hard water.
✅ The Result?
With just vinegar, baking soda, and a little time, your faucet or showerhead can look brand new again—free of crusty limescale and flowing freely. You’ll improve water pressure, protect your fixtures, and enjoy a cleaner, more luxurious shower.
