Just unscrew the shower head.  Only a plumber would make this complicated with a bag and all.  LOL

Aren't you supposed to replace the tape whenever you remove the shower head?

@catter70   how long do you soak it for?

I hope @catter70 will forgive me for answering for her but what I do is put the bag with vinegar on my shower head after my DH and I have showered for the night.  I then leave it on for the whole night and remove it the following day.  You have to leave it on long enough for the vinegar to work.

Me too ... a bag of vinegar submerging the shower head overnight .... sometimes scrubbing isn't even necessary.  I do this every 6 months, whether I think it needs it or not.

Good for you.  I don't have hard water but may still try it.  I love a hand held shower fixture.  Especially as I age, it is more flexible than a permanent fixture.

I've been meaning to try this.

After soaking with vinegar or CLR I use an old toothbrush to clean the shower head.  It works better than a toothpick and is much quicker.
