How do I remove hard water stains?
White vinegar dissolves calcium deposits. Soak faucet aerators in a bag of vinegar overnight; use a paste of vinegar plus baking soda on shower glass; a pumice stone works on toilet bowl rings.
Follow-up questions
Should I install a water softener?
If your water is above 7 grains per gallon (test kit under $10), yes — appliances last longer and skin/hair improve.
Are limescale removers safe?
Yes on ceramic and glass; avoid on natural stone (marble, travertine) which vinegar also damages.
