Ordinary vinegar works great, and is CHEAP.
Depending on the type of showerhead, the bag tied over the end method may not work, but sure sounds like a great idea!
If you take off your showerhead to soak it in ANYTHING, make sure you have some teflon tape handy to put on the threads before you screw it back on. It's available in the plumbing section of any hardware store, and helps prevent leaking.
Hope this helps!

Soak it in limeaway- it will not melt- you can also take a tooth brush to it if you have loose pieces of limescale on it= D

Vinegar is the best way. Don't waste your money on a bunch of cleaning products that may not work.
Vinegar is cheap and can be used on the shower head, your faucet, in your dishwaher and automatic coffee maker!
It's a great tool!

There is a product called CFR that removes the lime build up. Or, you can use vinegar. The acid in the vinegar eats the build up.

Put in a plastic bag some white vinegar and leave overnight. Tie it over your shower head.

take the shower head off and immerse it in a bowl containing white vinegar for a few hours. It's cheap and you will be AMAZED how well it works!

Either spray it or soak it in "Lime Away." Spraying usually does the trick, but if you want to soak it, either detach it and soak it or tie a baggie to it and soak for an hour or so.

Take if off and soak it in either LIMEAWAY or LCR(LimeCalciumRust) You should be able to get either at grocery store.

Use the "works".."limaway" something on the scale but, be careful, it'll burn your skin and or eyes.
