Need to get rid of hard water stains in your kitchen or bathroom?
“Hard water” contains high levels of minerals like calcium and magnesium. While these minerals are good for your health, they can leave unsightly stains on your shower glass, faucets, and more.
Here’s how you can remove those stubborn hard water stains with a few simple DIY methods:
- Shower Glass — Make a mix of plain vodka and Coca-Cola. The ethanol and carbonation make this combo great for breaking down hard water stains. Just be gentle to avoid scratching the glass.
- Faucets & Showerheads — Rub a lemon rind on the faucet, then soak paper towels in vinegar and drape them over the area. Let it sit, rinse, and dry.
- Toilets — Baking soda and vinegar are a powerful combo for removing hard water stains from your toilet bowl.
- Dishes — Soak dishes in hot water mixed with vinegar to easily remove hard water residue.
- Countertops — Make a paste of baking soda and water, apply it to the stained areas, and scrub gently with a soft-bristle brush.
- Install a Water Softening System — To prevent hard water stains in the future, consider installing a water softening system. It typically costs around $3,000 but can save you from the hassle of cleaning hard water stains over time.
Hope that helps keep things clean!
