Most people who know me know that I use mostly homemade natural cleaning products. I've spent quite a lot of time researching them and testing and adjusting recipes and trying things out. Here's one that works extremely well.
To remove hard water deposits on fixtures, soak paper towels or rags in white vinegar and drape the towels around the fixtures making sure to get good contact in all areas. Leave these on for at least an hour. Using the towels, rub the hard water deposits away. Even with heavy build-up you should get the first layer off and then be able to repeat the process as necessary.
Close the drain. Your fixtures will look like new!
I used this tip once on the floor of a textured tub in a house that we purchased in Tucson. It was when I was just learning about natural cleaning products. I had already tried to get the build up of grey, scummy hard water deposits off by soaking it in a couple of different commercial lime removal products, bleach and scrubbing it with harsh cleansers. Nothing worked. I finally closed the drain and dumped in half a gallon of pure white vinegar and half and hour later all of it was GONE!
