The water in my area is high in minerals, which leave deposits on my stainless steel sink and chrome taps. I have tried removing it with steel wool, but it doesn't do it. It also leaves a dull film on the marble in the shower.

Please don't give me a brand name product because I live in Mexico and it might not be available. A chemical formula would be more helpful.

Soak a towel in vinegar and leave it on the area affected for a few minutes then remove and scrub with steel wool. The vinegar will loosen the deposits and make it much easier to clean. The longer you leave it on the better.

I really don't think you can do this. It is OBVIOUSLY because you want to make more money if you do it.... what other reason would there be? I'd just ask and hope that more people opt for the bottled water. If I couldn't get tap at a restaurant, I'd never go there again and I'd tell everyone I know how much the place sucked. I've been to some of the best restaurants in the world and I've never been denied tap water.... pathetic.

MURIATIC ACID. - is the generic name = you can purchase it any grocery store - toiletries area
Directions:
1. Pour MURIATIC ACID into the said surface.
2. Leave it for 30 mins.
3. Do not stay inside the bathroom. It will suffocate you.

I found some stuff with citric acid (crystals) that is amazing. You'd have to be careful using it, as it would really be rough on the skin, but it works wonders in my stainless steel diswasher, and my sinks.
Plus, it's not some seriously toxic chemical that's going to destroy the ozone.

YOu should be able to get WD-40 in Mexico. It`s great for removing soap scum it should remove mineral stains.
WD-40 is great for cleaning lots of things

Have you tried vinegar? IIRC most of the minerals in water are susceptible to acids, so try vinegar also known as dilute acetic acid.
