Dealing with a clogged faucet or showerhead? Mineral salts can build up in faucet heads, aerators and showerheads, leading to reduced water flow. The way to correct this problem is to take a plastic baggie full of white vinegar and tie it up around the showerhead or drop your aerators in it. The vinegar will melt all the mineral salts causing the clog. (Don’t try this with red vinegar or you’ll come out of the shower smelling like a salad. Don’t ask how we know. We just do.)
