How do you clean those mineral deposits that stain water pitchers?

Question

the stains on the glass are from drinking spring water

Answer 1

vinegar , some lemon and hot water and some elbow grease should do the trick.

Answer 2

Depends on the minerals you're trying to remove. Baking soda alone may work or salt. Vinegar or lemon juice can be added to either of those as well. If the opening is too small to get your hand in, add crushed ice and swirl for a couple of minutes. Toothpaste may work as well. Anything you use should be thoroughly rinsed off and wipe dry with a clean towel to see your progress. In the case of the small opening, use a wooden spoon to poke the towel into the vessel and dry.

Answer 3

try using chrushed ice,salt and a little lemon. Swirl it around for 15 to 30 seconds--it removes coffee deposits from a glass coffee pot why wouldnt it remove mineral deposits too. Besides that it will make your house smell lemony fresh.

Answer 4

Ive heard to try alka seltzer. Lime-Away or CLR would also work. If they are etched from the dishwasher, there is no repairing that, though.

Answer 5

Buy a can of Barkeeper's Friend. You can find it at the dollar store. It's good stuff.

Answer 6
