Vinegar is a good place to start and if that’s not enough CLR will do it. :)
Yep white vinegar. I soak a rag with it and leave overnight.
Hi Gloria. Good old-fashioned white vinegar will take those mineral deposits off. You could soak a wash cloth with vinegar and put it directly on top of them. Leave it for as long as possible. 24 hrs would be great. Then wipe everything down with a clean cloth. If necessary, repeat. Good luck Gloria. Hoping all is well with you.
Hello. Before using harsh chemicals you may want to check with your manufacturer to be sure you don’t upset your existing finish. I have used a vinegar, baggie and rubber band on my shower head and faucet.
If you have granite or marble counters do not use vinegar. It will etch the surface.
Assuming you do not have marble or granite counter tops, clean the mineral deposits off with white vinegar, it will dissolve them.
Once you've removed the calcium buildup, try applying a thin coat of better quality car wax to the faucet and sinktop. This type of faucet requires continually drying any water splashes, after every use.
Soak a towel in white vinegar and then let it sit on the deposits to break them up. Regular cleaning with white vinegar will prevent build up in the future.
Clorox cleanup gets it clean
Try CLR cleaner
Hello Gloria,
leave white vinegar to soak into the deposit and then clean off with clear water. Repeat as necessary. Use vinegar around your taps to keep them clear of deposits as often as you clean.
We have lots of minerals in our water too, Gloria. White vinegar on a rag will clean it off. If you have any build up around the faucets you may need to use a toothbrush to scrub it off with the vinegar. I keep up daily with removing mine with a sponge or rag as I finish cleaning the kitchen after dinner. I hope this helps
In the long term, buy a Whole House Water Filter.
It will also extend the life of your dishwasher, hot water heater and your family.
They’re about $80 for the housing & another 60-80 for the filters, depending on what you want.
If you’ve limited plumbing skills, then watch videos on how to install.
Get a plastic bag and fill with CLR and tape onto the faucet overnight, rinse off in morning.
Hi Gloria, use white vinegar to remove the deposits, then do a monthly wipe down with vinegar to keep the deposits at bay. Hope this helps you out
