What to use to clean a shower head??
All the little holes on our shower head in the bathroom are black(literally) the water still comes out but sometimes you will get less power so we scrub it and then its ok for a while until it blocks up agian, but whatever we do we cant get this black shit off it, thought about soaking it over night in iron/kettle cleaner? or is there a better solution or even something specifically for the job?

Didnt think of buying a new one because its not THAT bad, the rest of the shower head looks like new, and plus is a spanky expensive electric shower so the actual head wont be too cheap i imagine

Once it's started it'll keep coming back regular. Buy a new one and spray it daily with one of them shower sprays.

can you not open the shower head up and clean it like that?
if it's the spin openable one you hsould have a bit of plastic to spin it out with did it with ours and you don't need to soak it at all, just wpie round the inside with a sponge and it';s all gone

The vinegar in the kettle and then soaking the shower head was the method i was going to try, sounds like it would work in theory, if it doesnt ill buy a new head.
