Removing Lime and Hard Water Stains
Actually, that crusty white stain I’ve been battling around my faucet it excess calcium and is usually nothing more than mineral deposits, but can be very frustrating to remove. I’ve tried a few different products and the next day, the stains would reappear. After all, aside from wanting our water to taste the best it can, we want our sink areas to look good too!
If you use this on granite – It’s worth mentioning that I didn’t have any issues using this product on my granite. It was only on the countertop for a few minutes, and I washed it off really well afterward. I’m sure some folks might say it’s not good to use this on granite, but I did not have any issues and it’s been over two weeks since the application.
Watch my video below that details exactly how I was able to get rid of my hard water stains easily!
I even tried a vinegar and water solution and that worked for a day or so until that annoying crusty stain resurfaced. Then, I thought well, I have this Lysol Lime & Rust Cleaner – let’s try that. Bam! It worked. And the best part is they have not reappeared! If they do come back, I know the fix takes a few easy minutes. At around $3.00 a bottle, it’s a pretty inexpensive fix too.
It’s so annoying when your whole bathroom is spotless except for these nasty crusty-looking stains around your faucet or anywhere in your bathrooms. This works great on my toilet bowls too and removed every drop of discoloration or hard water build-up stains.
