I have a "telephone wand" version of a shower head, and the holes are closing up, some from grit, but most others that are closed/of reduced aperture seem to suffer from lime (calcium) deposits. My thought was to soak and/or scour it with some home-made solution, since I cannot find a commercial product for this purpose here in Germany.
Researching the 21 Q's found under "lime deposits" here, it would seem an acid solution, perhaps using vinegar or lime juice may work. But, I am worried about this pitting or eating away the chrome-(like?) finish on the shower head.
I suspect the best solution is to SOAK the shower-head (since it can be brought down from its hanging position) in a solution, then use a BRUSH or scouring pad on the water outlets (jets) to remove/reduce the most stubborn deposits. But, what solution is most likely to garner success?
