Cleaning solutions smell like lemon for a reason.

How to use citric acid to clean showerheads and faucet aeratorsI don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say that low water pressure can be counted as one of the horsemen of the apocalypse. Having just a single thread of water to clean yourself cannot be defined as anything but a nightmare.
