Tired of scrubbing stubborn white scale off your faucets and shower doors? Try these effective cleaning tips.
The Hard Water Battle
Calgary's hard water leaves behind chalky white calcium and magnesium deposits that can make even the cleanest bathroom look dingy. Regular soap won't touch it.
The Vinegar Solution
The most effective and natural way to dissolve hard water scale is with mild acid. White vinegar is your best friend here.
- Faucets: Soak a paper towel in vinegar and wrap it around the crusty areas of the faucet. Let it sit for an hour, then scrub with an old toothbrush.
- Showerheads: Fill a plastic bag with vinegar, tie it around the showerhead so it's submerged, and leave it overnight.
- Glass Doors: Spray a 50/50 mix of vinegar and water, let it sit, and wipe clean.
For a permanent solution that stops the scale before it starts, consider installing a whole-home water softener.
