how do i take out stubborn hard water stains on the shower door?

Question

already tried vinegar

Answer 1

Lime away is a very good product. But, you may want to add water softener pellets to your water softener if you have one. Also, white distilled vinegar works very well to cut through the deposits left on your shower door. Overall white distilled vinegar has many uses. Read the label you may be pleasantly surprised and it costs only pennies. That's the best part.

Answer 2

Hard water stains are mostly calcium, so a mild acid such as vinegar in water may do the trick. There are also commercial products such as "Lime Away" and "CLR" which are fantastic for getting rid of water stains.

With each of these, however, make sure that you are wearing the appropriate hand and eye protection. No point getting chemically burned while dealing with a relatively inocuous problem.

Answer 3

the best thing to clean the hard water is white vinegar....put some in a spray bottle, leave it for 1 or 2 minutes then brush the surface, repeat again if any residue, sometimes it take more than one spray....after the hard water spots are gone..do the same every other week to keep it spots free.

Answer 4

WD-40..spray it on and then wipe off. Use a bathroom cleaner afterwards to remove any of the WD-40 residue left on the door.
WD-40 is a great cleaner for a lot of stains

Answer 5

There is a couple of products that do well on this. I forget the names, but it is a mild acid that wipes the sopts away on showers doors etc. Green bottle. Scum-X or something like that

Answer 6

I've tried CLR, ScumAway and several others listed.

I found Kaboom to work the best of all of them. I recommended it to my daughter and she agrees, it works the best and doesn't require hardly any scrubbing.

I find it especially good for glass shower doors.

Answer 7

The Works, or another harsh toilet bowl cleaner. They will eat anything off the door. But be aware it will also take the finish of a tub if you let it sit.

Answer 8

lime away or clr work good.other than that you could use a 1 part vinager two parts water and spray door let stand 5 mins and use scrubber to remove.

Answer 9

Mr Clean or Brawny Scrub sponge, no chemicals, just the magic erasers... they are the best new invention made!

Answer 10

Real fine steel wool the finest you can find.No joke it works wounders on glass.You wont believe you eyes.See how it works on those spots that you cant get off of your car windshield.
