How to Clean Hard Water Bathtub Stains
Hard water stains, lime scale, mineral deposits … whatever you call it, one thing is certain: these stains can be annoying and hard to remove. Well, here’s a pantry staple to remove the stubborn buildup without using harsh chemicals: White Vinegar.- For the tub: Run the tub with hot water from the tap and pour in 3 cups of white vinegar. Let it soak for 4 hours, drain, and then scrub off the stains like a champ! So easy.
- For the showerhead: Fill up a plastic bag with white vinegar, then secure it to your showerhead with a rubber band. (The showerhead should be submerged.) Let it sit for 12 hours, remove the bag and scrub the showerhead with a toothbrush. Voila!
- For the faucets: Soak a cleaning rag in vinegar. Wrap it around the part of the faucet that has the lime scale. Let sit for 1 hour, adding more vinegar if the rag dries out. Remove the rags and wipe clean with a towel.
Don’t like the smell of vinegar? Not a problem!
