Hard Water Stains And How To Eliminate Them
2

• Most homes will have experienced problems with
  hard water staining at some point, and if you
  dont keep these areas clean and stay on top of
  them, they can quickly spread throughout the home
  and not only make the place look unsightly and
  dirty, but can begin to smell, too.
• Some common hard water staining occurs frequently
  on bathroom fixtures, or leaves a cloudy film on
  coffee carafes, and in fact it can affect up to
  85 of households throughout the country. The
  effect you see from hard water staining is caused
  by a build up of minerals that are left behind
  when water evaporates, and they can quickly block
  many components within the home.

• However, as problematic as hard water stains may
  be, fortunately they are easy enough to eliminate
  if you follow a few simple steps
• 1st Step
• Many of us nowadays prefer to use natural
  cleaning solutions when tackling stains and grime
  in our homes, and a great hard water stain
  removing formula can be made from equal parts of
  vinegar and water. Simply place the solution into
  a spray bottle and squirt it liberally over the
  affected areas. Leave it on for a few minutes at
  least, before you move on to the next step.

• If you prefer to use a chemical solution for
  removing the hard water stains, then you can buy
  an acidic cleaner, such as a metal and rust
  remover. If you are doing this, be sure to
  carefully follow the instructions on the bottle
  or packet.
• 2nd Step
• Get ready for some scrubbing! You can use an old
  toothbrush or any kind of cleaning brush to scrub
  away at the affected surfaces and remove the
  mineral deposits that should by now have been
  loosened by the vinegar or acid solution. You
  will need to use a tool with bristles though,
  otherwise you wont be able to lift off the
  deposits very easily.

• 3rd Step
• For those mineral deposits that are not so easy
  to remove first time around, you may need to
  spray them again, wait a bit longer, and scrub
  again. If this still doesnt work, try pouring
  the water and vinegar solution that youve
  already prepared into a bowl, and adding some
  baking soda. You want to create a paste, so be
  sure to add enough soda. Smear it onto the
  affected areas, wait a few minutes and then you
  should find that even the most stubborn of
  deposit stains is easily lifted with minimal
  scrubbing.

• 4th Step
• Once youve scrubbed all the hard water stains
  off, rinse the area thoroughly with a wet sponge
  before wiping down with a soft cloth. Its
  important to dry the whole area well or those
  hard water stains will simply reappear!
• If your home is badly affected by hard water
  stains and you dont have the time or energy to
  tackle them yourself, you could always call in
  the professionals and have a cleaning company do
  all the hard work for you.
