Hard Water

 
 
I know this is gross, but if your shower head looks like this, more than likely you live in an area with hard water.  There are some things that you can do to help with the hard water.  You can purchase a hard water shower head. 
 
For those of you that don't know, hard water comes from the excess calcium and minerals that are in the water.  The shower head that is made for hard water will help filter the water.
 
If you cant afford a hard water filter, you can just clean your existing shower head with vinegar.  If you are able to remove the shower head, place it in a bucket of water that has half water and half vinegar.  If you can't remove the shower head, you can half fill a gallon sized Ziploc bag with half vinegar and half water.  adhere the Ziploc bag with the water vinegar solution to the shower head with a rubber band.  
 
Which ever method you decide to use, you may need to use a tooth pick to get into the holes and an old tooth brush to clean the head.  When you are done cleaning it, let the water run through the shower head for 2-5 minutes and your shower head will be like new.
