If you cannot remove the shower head, you can pour vinegar into a large ziplock bag and place the shower head in the opening of the bag. Make sure to secure the bag securely with the showerhead vinegar overnight. Upon awakening, lime and dirt should be dissolved entirely from the pommel.
A toothbrush for small corners
If you just want to remove a few small spots of dirt and lime, you can dip a toothbrush in the vinegar and rub the stains on your shower head.
White vinegar and baking soda
Again white vinegar is the key to this other tip for washing the shower head. Just mix a cup of vinegar with half a cup of baking soda. You mix everything and then just scrub with a brush or a cloth to clean the shower head, quite simply.
Use a toothpick
If the lime blocks the small holes on your shower head, you can use a toothpick to remove the lime. Be careful not to push the lime further into the holes, which can slow the water flow in the shower.
