I love the term life hacks. :-)<br /><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><b style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;">Life hack</b><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;"> refers to any productivity trick, shortcut, skill, or novelty method to increase productivity and efficiency, in all walks of life; in other words, anything that solves an everyday problem of a person in a clever or non-obvious way.</span></i></span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_hacking">source</a> </span></span><br /><br />OK, so let me set the scene and then I'll get on with it:  The kids bathroom has a shower head that is completely clogged up with minerals and deposits. The kids don't complain, but when I clean the bathroom, I've noticed that the some of the little holes don't spurt water, and the ones that do, aren't doing it very well.<br /><br />So last week Big A and I were at Home Depot (on one of our many romantic afternoons). We were in the bathroom section looking at shower doors and Big A mentioned that he was going to buy a new shower head for the kids bathroom.<br /><br />"Nooooo!" I screamed (with perhaps just a little too much drama). "I can clean it. I promise." To this, Big A rolls his eyes, and mumbles "whatever", and continues shopping, thinking he will have to come back to buy a new shower head. (He has no faith.)<br /><br />But I did it, and the shower head is back to its like-new working order. Plus, I didn't even have to remove the shower head. Impressive, eh?<br /><br />Here's how to clean a shower head and get the water flow back to it's original free flowing splendor.<br /><br />1. Half-fill a baggie with CLR (link below if you don't know what this is). OR, to avoid chemicals, fill your baggie with plain white vinegar.<br /><br />2. Use a twist tie to secure the baggie to the shower head, so that the end is submerged in the CLR or the vinegar.<br /><br />3. Leave this on the shower head for 3 hours or overnight.<br /><br />4. Remove the baggie and drain the contents. Give your shower head a wipe with a sponge, and run the warm water for a minute.<br /><br />5. Enjoy a full day feeling <i>Zestfully</i> clean!<br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAUpXmCIEQQ-GxdqKs-TxdY2bgdIVmOzmFCBHlarAzYBls8GrbsWaep2kuy3akZIwJ4WcQ1NRh_RlPqNl8Nm68DF2whR58DcEp2ZTS2oy0CjHszFGRzCQuTACNMFJ0fuziRth3m39rlGs/s1600/shower+head+cleaning+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="life hack, how to clean shower head, clean a shower head" border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAUpXmCIEQQ-GxdqKs-TxdY2bgdIVmOzmFCBHlarAzYBls8GrbsWaep2kuy3akZIwJ4WcQ1NRh_RlPqNl8Nm68DF2whR58DcEp2ZTS2oy0CjHszFGRzCQuTACNMFJ0fuziRth3m39rlGs/s1600/shower+head+cleaning+1.jpg" title="" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;">I would love to know your favorite life hack? </span></span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><span style="color: orange;"><b>Please don't forget to subscribe to my newsletter!
