Effective Calcium/Lime remover?

Posted by Pringles CheezUms on April 9, 2007, 7:43 pm

Is there an effective calcium/lime remover that I can make from home
ingredients?
My shower nozzle is blocked because of buildup, but I don't want to go
get a commercial product if I can make one at home...

Thanks!

Vinegar.

Yep. White Vinegar. Take off the nozzle and let it sit in White
vinegar for about an hour, then rinse with hot water.

Everybody recommends white vinegar for cleaning. What's wrong with cider
vinegar or whatever other kind of vinegar you have on hand?

Every once in a while I run a cup of [whatever] vinegar through my drip
coffeemaker half a dozen times or so -- fun to see the gravel trickle out
into the pot.

Nothing, other than the fact that white vinegar is way cheaper than any
other kind, and doesn't have potential for some extra odor you may not like.
