Removing Lime Deposits on Bathroom Fixtures
Regular cleaning can prevent buildup of staining
material. Repair leaking, dripping faucets to stop
staining.
Lime or hard-water mineral buildup is dissolved by
an acid. Vinegar or lemon juice may be rubbed over the
stain, to dissolve. Do not leave on stain too long, as
acids will eventually damage surface of porcelain enamel.
Rinse thoroughly. Commercial products designed to remove
lime deposit may be used if label says safe for the
surface. Do not use acids on fiberglass, nor any
commercial product unless label says safe for fiberglass.
