If your showerhead is looking more crusty than clean, a simple hack might help. Hard water buildup, soap scum, and mineral deposits can leave even the most well-scrubbed bathrooms looking dull. While many people turn to harsh, chemical-heavy cleaners to tackle the problem, one professional cleaner has shown that you might only need a lemon.
The scoop
In a TikTok video, creator Get'er Done Cleaning Services (@geterdonecleaning) shows how a lemon can cut through stubborn deposits without expensive sprays or toxic chemicals.
"The acid in lemons can clean and remove mineral deposits, soap scum, and hard water stains from shower heads," the caption explains. To try it yourself, simply spray the stains with lemon juice or rub a lemon directly onto the surface, let it sit for about 10 minutes, and then scrub clean.

You can use a soft cloth or a half cut lemon to clean the shower head, or even spray lemon juice directly on the stains and let it sit for ten minutes before rinsing. 😊 #cleaningmotivation #cleaninghacks #cleaningvideos #cleantok #cleaning #cleaningtiktok #cleaning #longervideo #housecleaning #cleaningtips #deepcleaning #commercialcleaning #housecleaner #housecleaning #deepclean ♬ 80's style background music(1405364) - Green Woodpecker
How it's helping
The biggest win with this hack is saving money and time. Instead of buying pricey bathroom cleaners that only add more clutter to your cabinets, you can use a lemon, which you probably already have in your kitchen. Plus, it's safer to use around kids and pets than many store-bought options.
On top of the convenience, natural cleaning products help reduce plastic waste from single-use cleaning bottles and cut back on the pollution that comes from manufacturing chemical-heavy products. Homeowners can benefit similarly with other simple, eco-friendly cleaning hacks, like using vinegar to clean your microwave or making your own lemon-based spray cleaner.
