Steps:

1. Fit a 6-inch adjustable wrench to the shower head bracket.
2. Move the wrench clockwise to loosen the shower head from the bracket.
3. Apply as little pressure as possible to the shower bracket, as too much pressure can damage the attached metal.

4. Add water to a plastic freezer bag, then add the shower head to the bag.
5. Add about one cup of distilled white vinegar to the plastic bag. Seal the plastic bag, and let the shower head rest for about two hours.
6. Depending on the severity of the mineral deposits, you can let the showerhead rest in the solution for up to 8 hours.
7. Be careful when using distilled white vinegar as it can leave stains; also, be careful when pouring it, as it can cause damage if the solution gets into your eye.

8. Use a soft bristle brush to clear mineral deposits stuck to cones or on the shower head.
9. Use a microfiber cloth to brush and dry without streaking on the steel.

10. Use a heavy-duty sewing needle to clean the inner cones, penetrate the shower head cones, and remove mineral deposits.
11. Using a flicking motion, remove the obstructions in the holes.
12. You can use a sewing or fine needle to get into smaller holes.
13. You can use nitrile gloves to get a better hold on the sewing needle and increase grip and traction.
14. Be cautious when using any sharps, as needles can easily penetrate human skin.

15. Use a 1/2 inch piece of thread seal tape to wrap around the bracket nozzle; go clockwise when wrapping to follow the circular indents in the nozzle.
16. The sealing tape is necessary to keep water pressure tight and prevent leakage.

17. Using the 6-inch Wrench, get a grip on the showerhead bracket.
18. Using counter-clockwise motion with the wrench, tighten the bracket onto the nozzle.
19. When the shower head is back on the nozzle, turn on the hot water to remove any leftover vinegar and any other minerals from the inside.
