I have a brass faucet in my bathroom that I will eventually have replaced, but right now its caked with calcium and minerals from the hard water. I bought some "Brasso" and it didn't work and a lot of the Lime Away-type products say not to use on brass fixtures. Anyone have a suggestion?

Try two things.
1st try using the hard end of a new sponge, add ajax or bon-ami to it, then drench it with toilet bowl cleaner, and scrub until gone, then rinse and shine with windex.
If that doesn't work,
Try using "Bar Keepers Friend" and follow directions.
One of these will work, but.. I am sure the 1st one will, if done properly. I've used it in countless homes and it works!

Cleaning (for light soils): The use of isopropyl (rubbing alcohol) applied with the sponge side of a light-duty, "white-padded" scrubbing sponge with the grain of the door. In the event of tougher scuff marks, flip over sponge and gently agitate with the grain of the metal with the white scrub pad.
For heavier soils: Dampen sponge side with water, and apply a light scouring low abrasion creme onto it. Work product into sponge, and then stroke it onto your door with the grain. Once completed, wipe surface thoroughly clean with a clean, soft rag. Once surface is cleaned, then go to the next step.
Polishing: One of the best tools which provides just the right amount of oil onto metal is a "yellow" treated dust cloth. Wipe down brass with this cloth and then buff it dry with a soft, cotton cloth. This trace amount of oil in the cloth should not smear or discolor, especially after buffing.

soak a cloth in vinegar and wrap it around the spot where the buildup is. check it every once and a while and see if it is working. Use a soft plastic scrubby if you need to.

Try vinegar first. If that doesn't work, there are commercial preparations available at a hardwares store.
