Yeah, vinegar worked wonders for me too, but have you checked the rubber washers inside the showerhead? Mine were worn out, and replacing those made a huge difference. Also, is your water pressure unusually high lately? Sometimes that's enough to send water spraying everywhere...might be worth looking into if nothing else helps. Good luck—shower issues are so annoying!
Haha, showers going rogue...been there. Had one client whose showerhead was basically possessed—sprayed everywhere except on the person standing under it. Turned out to be a combo of worn washers and mineral buildup, but weirdly enough, lowering the water pressure slightly at the main valve helped even more. Might wanna give that a shot if the washers don't do the trick. Good luck taming the beast...nothing like starting your day with an involuntary bathroom flood.
Just went through this myself last month... skeptical at first, but lowering the water pressure actually did help a bit. I'd still recommend soaking the showerhead in vinegar overnight—worked wonders for mine. Good luck avoiding that morning flood, haha.
Lowering pressure might help temporarily, but honestly, if your showerhead's spraying everywhere, it's usually due to mineral buildup or worn-out nozzles. Vinegar soak can work, sure, but sometimes the deposits are stubborn enough that vinegar alone won't cut it. I had a similar issue a while back—tried vinegar overnight, helped a bit, but didn't fully solve it. Ended up taking the showerhead apart and manually cleaning out the nozzles with a toothpick. Tedious, yeah, but it did the trick. If you're comfortable with basic tools, disassembling and cleaning thoroughly might save you from buying a new one. Just my two cents...
Yeah, vinegar's usually my go-to as well, but you're right—sometimes it's just not enough. If the toothpick method feels too tedious (been there, done that, definitely not the highlight of my weekend...), you could try soaking it in CLR or another mineral remover. Just don't leave it too long or it might damage the finish. Worst-case scenario, showerheads aren't too pricey, and swapping one out is a pretty straightforward DIY job. Good luck!
