Step 1
Wet the aluminum surface.
Step 2
Apply 1 drop of liquid dish soap to the aluminum water stain.
Step 3
Scrub the stains with superfine steel wool. Do not use coarse steel wool, as it will damage the aluminum surface.
Step 4
Soak a clean cloth in white vinegar if the water stains are still visible.
Step 5
Lay the cloth over the water stain and let it soak for 20 minutes. This acidic solution will help remove any alkaline hard-water stains.
Step 6
Rinse the aluminum with clear water and dry it completely. Do not let it air-dry, as it will show streaks.
