3 Ways to Eliminate Hard Water Stains from Tiles

• Hard water is a real nuisance, and it can quickly
  make the tiles in your bathroom look grubby,
  unhygienic and uncared for.
• Water is made hard due to a high concentration of
  calcium and magnesium, and when water in your
  bathroom evaporates, it leaves a very fine coat
  on the surface of the tiles. Over time, this coat
  thats made up of calcium and magnesium will
  begin to mix with dirt particles and fresh
  mineral crystals, and leave you with an ugly
  brown layer of hard water deposits and dirt.
• Thankfully, there are a few simple steps you can
  take to tackle the problem of hard water stains,
  and here are 3 of the most effective

• Use a bathroom water softener
• This solution will eliminate the problem of hard
  water stains altogether, and is a device that can
  be attached to the water source in your home, to
  soften the water. Using an ion exchange process
  to replace excess calcium and magnesium with the
  ions of sodium or potassium, you get soft water
  and can say goodbye to hard water stains, for
  good.
• Whether you choose a device that softens the
  water for your entire water supply, or just one
  that works for a certain water supply in your
  home, a water softener device is a worthy
  investment if hard water is wreaking havoc in
  your home.

• Try white vinegar
• This store cupboard essential is cheap and
  remarkably effective for so many things in the
  home, and has long been used for getting rid of
  hard water stains on tiles. Mildly acidic, white
  vinegar is also effective for preventing mold,
  mildew and germ growth in bathrooms, and with a
  solution of equal parts vinegar to water, you can
  simply spray it onto the tiles, leave it for an
  hour or two, and then scrub it off with a brush
  or sponge. For more stubborn stains, try adding
  some baking soda to the mixture.

5

• Try salt
• This is another store cupboard essential thats a
  cost effective and extremely useful ingredient
  for eliminating hard water stains and killing
  germs. While this is perhaps most effective when
  used on tiled floors (because the salt crystals
  will stick better), it can be safely used for any
  tiled surface. Make sure the surface is wet
  before sprinkling salt onto the tiles leave it
  for a minimum of thirty minutes. Then, simply
  scrub the salt off with a brush or sponge, and
  watch as the hard water stains disappear!

• Like these tips but think they sound like too
  much hard work? Hire a cleaning service, and when
  they arrive, show them the affected tiles and sit
  back and watch (or go about your day) as they get
  them sparkling clean and smelling fresh, in next
  to no time.
