How do you clean corrosion in shower heads?

Detach the shower heads first and, if it's possible, remove the cover off the shower heads. Scrub the corrosion off the shower heads by using a scrubbing pad. Use oil or lubricant if there are corrosion that are hard to remove. After removing the corrosion, soak the shower heads in a bowl of white vinegar. Let it soak for a few minutes and scrub the shower heads again using small brush or unused toothbrush. After that, let it soak again for a few minutes and rinse it properly.

How do you clean hard water stains off shower grout?

Ugh.. now here's a real pain in the neck problem. The best thing I've found is to soak old towels in pure vinegar and lay them on the tiles over night, then scrub the next day. The acid in the vinegar will break down the minerals so they can be scrubbed off. The towels keep the vinegar from drying up before it has a chance to do it's job. The biggest problem here is that the hard water stains will just keep coming back, unless you find a way to prevent them. A water softener will help some, but it won't fix the problem. I clean houses for a living and have a customer who has good success with a shower spray product made by Arm & Hammer called "Clean Shower Daily Shower Cleaner." You just spray it on when you are done showering and it keeps the shower looking good. My Grandmother had a well when I was a kid and she kept her shower from getting hard water stains by wiping it out with a tile every time she got out of the shower.
