"Hi, I'm Adolph Ramirez from Tampa, Florida and on behalf of Expert Village, today I'll show you how to clean a shower head. Some of the tools you'll need for this project will be a little bowl so you can put in your white vinegar, white vinegar is usually the most cost-effective to use. You can also use (if needed) an adjustable wrench, a metal scribe, this is to take the debris out of the little holes on your restrictor or screen, a paper clip (if you don't have a metal scribe, you can also use a paper clip or even just a little safety pin, or something very sharp). You'll need probably, most likely, Teflon tape, a wire brush if needed, and if you have a plier with the rubber protector, this is probably the most important thing. This will hold your pipe while you unscrew the shower head. It keeps you from marring the surface. Or if you don't have a plier like this, you can always use regular pliers and just wrap it up with a towel or something to protect the finish. "
