Answers:
Clean it with something like CLR that dissolves mineral deposits.
As someone else said, make sure there is adequate ventilation. CLR -- and just about anything else that will dissolve mineral deposits -- not only "smells bad", it is an acid and the fumes can be dangerous.
Try some CLR, it works wonders... it's smells really bad, though, so jsut make sure you have the area well ventilated. You should be able to get it in any hardware store or even a grocery store in the cleaning section.
If you don't want to use something harsh like CLR, try
scrubbing it with white vinegar. The acidity of the
vinegar can cut thru the hard water deposit--thats
why they recommend it for cleaning cofee pots.
Plus its non toxic and doesn't have fumes. Just
buy the store brand white vinegar, its not that
expensive.
I used to have a place that had a black bathtub
(good old 70's decor) and it was a pain to keep
the white spots off, one thing that helped was to
keep an old towel around and after the tub
drained, towel it dry. That kept it looking Ok for
a lot longer.
muriatic acid
Here’s A Process To Use:
~ Mix one cup of white vinegar with one tablespoon of lemon juice.
~ Use a terry cloth or other soft, absorbent material to apply the mixture to the hard water stain.
~ Rub to remove.
~ Insure that you rinse the area well.
~ Dry with a clean terry cloth to insure all residue has been removed.
Once you get rid of the hard water stain, there is still something to do. Here’s the bottom line. Just because you have successfully removed the hard water stains from your basins does not mean you want to let it go. You need to insure that you use regular cleaning methods to help to maintain this cleanliness and to avoid having additional stains form.
Good luck!
Lime-Away works for me far better than CLR.
