how do I remove stubborn lime scale from the shower glass door or the stainless steel bath appliances?

Answer 1

Lime Away works great. Just be sure and wear gloves when you use it.

Answer 2

Shower door is very hard. Try CLR remover. Might work if used full strength and scrubbed hard. Easiest just to buy a new door, but if you really are a glutton for punishement, there is a powder made of oyster shells (I believe) that is about the only thing that is the right consistancy to rub off the lime without etching the glass. Lotsa hard work.

Can't remeber the name of the product, but if you search oninternet you can find it.

Answer 3

I would suggest a chemical. Protect your hands. I used CLR after many years viewing those white whiskers at the edge of the faucet and not doing anything about it. It took many careful applications of CLR remover, the scale was removed and exposed the metal -- which was corroded We'll replace it one day.

So learn by my mistake and don't let that scale sit too long on your fixtures as it'll eat it up. The glass door should also be cleaned with a chemical (to avoid getting it scratched).

Answer 4

I had this same problem- I sprayed Kaboom on the area and let it sit for a couple minutes (but not too long). Where I could, I also sprinkled a little comet on the area as well. Then I took a Brillo pad and it came off like it was nothing (some areas aren't suitable for a Brillo pad)! Now I use this technique everytime I clean out my bathroom tub, toilet, and sinks. The smell is tuff, so make sure the area is well ventilated.

Answer 5

Don't use SOS or Brillo pads, they will scratch the stainless and also the glass. The Lime Away or CLR both work well, there's no need to have to scrub with steel wool.

Answer 6

I've had good luck with pure orange oil. I have a pure orange oil furniture polish that I use (sounds weird, yes), then afterward, I use a vinegar-based cleaner to get the oil off, or a Fantastik spray or something. I also have a can of pure orange oil air freshener that works fine.

Answer 7

Try a Mr. Clean Eraser. It is the only way I am able to remove allot of stuff from the houses I clean.

Answer 8

I use to use Lime Away.
Now I use "Shower Power". It works great and I don't have to wear gloves.

Answer 9

I've just recently discovered Easy Off Bam...workes great..watch out..has bleach in it..don't mix w/ammonia

Answer 10

Spray vinegar on it..followed by SOS pads..CLR or Lime Away also work.
