Don’t even need to buy CLR, white vinegar and baking soda will do a better job.
Just use plain vinegar. Been doing this for decades living in N.O. to clean showerheads and aerators on kitchen and bathroom sink faucets.
I pour vinegar in a bowl just big enough to put the showerhead in and deep enough to cover the openings then pour straight household vinegar in the bowl and let it sit for a couple hours. Remove, wash with mild soap and rinse.

You’re removing the shower head and soaking it?
Allow me to suggest a ziploc bag that you zip-tie/bread tie to the shower head instead for anyone thinking of doing that, though there’s nothing inherently wrong/dangerous with repetitively removing/replacing the shower head, as we’re talking about what? One treatment every 6-24 months? But it just seems like a bit more hassle to me.
I’m in the hard water club. Unrelated to that, I just replaced a Waterpick shower head with tons of tiny spray holes (which occasionally required manual removal of scale and soaking in vinegar) a Speakman Icon 2.5gpm. The design is significantly different, and I think it will develop scale over time, but I don’t think it will affect the performance to the same degree. I also don’t think that alone is a reason to change a shower head out.
