How to Clean Clogged Shower Head without Vinegar?

An easy way to clean a clogged showerhead without vinegar is to use soapy warm water. Just: 

• Fill a bowl with warm water and a few drops of dish soap. 

• Soak it for 15-20 minutes to loosen the dirt and blockage 

• After soaking, use a soft brush or an old toothbrush to scrub away any remaining dirt or mineral buildup. 

• Rinse the shower head thoroughly under running water to remove soap residue. 

• Run hot water through it for a minute to clear any leftover debris.

You can use cleaning solutions or products like Harpic but I find them too hard and damaging; hence, I will not suggest using them, but if the blockage is too hard to remove, you might use them. I hope this method on how to unclog a shower head without vinegar was helpful.
