    I have tried using a sponge and keep dabbing vinegar on the calcium. I try it for about five minutes then again the next day etc., it gradually makes the deposits smaller. I will try CLR

    I used Grease Lightening with a super spong. Sponge on the GL and lets it set for approx. 5 minutes, use sponge to scrip it off. For the tube, I used a Q-tip with vinegar to clean the tube out. After cleaning be sure to rinse well and run some about 2 quarts of water through th dispenser to clear the vinegar out of the tube. Good luck!!

      It is a super general cleaner. I used to refurbish apt. complexes for clients in Florida. The owner introduced this product to me. The kitchen cabinets and floor looked grey and when I used this product, the came 100% back to the original white,,I've been using it for 20 + years. It's amazing!!!

    If some of the above fail…buy spray paint for plastic. I did this on my mom's fridge and it worked. I did tape everything off carefully, and had a drop cloth on the floor. I did several thin coats so the paint would not run. I tried many suggestions like the ones above and could not get it all clean.

    Barkeeper's Friend. Very inexpensive, I like the canned powder - you can make a paste and let it sit. We have some of the hardest water in No. America and it is great on many surfaces, many stains.

    The vineager that you buy in the garden section is a stronger vineger. Use that for cleaning puurposes.

    Soak paper towels (the more on the towels the better) in white vinegar and put/wrap them on the problem area. Leave on the area for 20-30 minutes (longer may be needed). You may need to spray the paper towels with vinegar from a spray bottle in order to keep them from drying out. Wipe up the area with the vinegar soaked towels- the stains should be gone- if not- then repeat the process and leave on longer.
