Mix equal parts of white vinegar and distilled water into a spray bottle. Shake the bottle to combine them thoroughly.
Spray the mixture directly onto the calcium buildup and let it sit for several minutes; about 5 minutes is recommended. Depending on the amount of calcium present, you may need to let it sit longer or spray again a second time.
After letting the mixture sit for several minutes, clean the shower with a dry rag. You should see a noticeable improvement in areas of calcium buildup.
For more extensive or stubborn calcium buildup, use a scrub brush and gently scrub the area before wiping clean.
For cleaning the shower head
Fill a gallon-sized zippered bag with about a cup or two of straight vinegar.
Position it around the shower head until the sprayers are submerged.
Secure it with rubberbands and leave it to sit for at least an hour or up to overnight.
Remove the bag and run your shower for several seconds to wash out the loose mineral buildup in your shower head.
