If you can’t remove your showerhead, or if it’s on the smaller side, one option is to tie a bag of vinegar and water around it and let it soak in place. Tested on a showerhead just under 6 inches in diameter, I found this to be a much messier and inefficient method of cleaning. You can’t investigate the water inlet for debris, which is a common source of slowness. Plus, tying a bag of liquid onto something positioned above you is awkward and potentially messy. I gave the in-place method a shot since it’s a popular bit of advice. And I came away unimpressed, as well as smelling of vinegar, after some spilled down my arms.
