Saw a thing about vinegar and my shower head that actually worked

I was scrolling through a DIY subreddit last night and someone said you could clean a clogged shower head by soaking it in white vinegar for an hour. I tried it this morning on my old one, which had been spraying water everywhere. Took it off, put it in a plastic bag with a cup of vinegar, and tied it up. After an hour, the water pressure was way better and the holes weren't blocked anymore. Anyone have other cheap cleaning hacks for stuff around the house?

Oh man, that reminds me of the time I tried cleaning my coffee maker with vinegar.

Wait, you only poked the holes with a toothpick? That's like trying to clean a whole car with just a single wipe. The gunk is inside the tubes and the tank, not just in the basket holes. My machine smelled like a science fair volcano until I ran a vinegar cycle.

Honestly, I just poke the holes with a toothpick. Does it really need a whole vinegar soak?
