The Pin is Mightier than The Sword

Have you noticed that with time your showerhead becomes lethargic and gives out weak sprays (or even dribbles) of water? Or else you'll find that instead of coming down in a refreshing stream onto you, the angle of the spray goes wonky and the tops of your bathroom walls get wet from  annoying misty semi-sprays shooting out of the tiny little holes - usually the ones at the very edge of the circular pattern.

Go get a needle, or a pin, shut off the water, and poke away. Right into them holes. Ever so often, turn it to face away from you (duh..) and turn on the tap to get out whatever gunk you've loosened.

Do this a few times, and your showerhead'll be good as new!


(If it's really bad, soak the shower head in a bowl of vinegar for a coupla hours before trying the trick with the pin again. Remember to wash thoroughly before use!!)
