I've tried for years to get rid of this, but finally found something that did the job!

White vinegar is acidic, which makes it perfect for breaking down the mineral deposits that cause hard water stains. It’s also non-toxic and environmentally friendly, making it a great alternative to harsh chemical cleaners. Additionally, vinegar is inexpensive and readily available, making this solution accessible for everyone.

What You’ll Need:

White vinegar
A small plastic bag (like a sandwich bag)
A rubber band or hair tie
A soft cloth or sponge

Instructions:

Prepare the Vinegar Solution: Fill the small plastic bag with enough white vinegar to submerge the faucet’s spout and any other areas with hard water stains.

Secure the Bag to the Faucet: Place the bag filled with vinegar over the faucet’s spout, ensuring that all stained areas are submerged in the vinegar. Use a rubber band or hair tie to secure the bag in place. Make sure it’s snug enough that the bag won’t slip off but not too tight that it damages the faucet.

Let It Soak: This is where the “almost 0 effort” part comes in. Let the vinegar do its magic by leaving the bag in place for about an hour. For tougher stains, you might want to let it soak longer, even overnight if necessary. The acidic properties of the vinegar will dissolve the mineral deposits, making them easy to wipe away.

Remove the Bag and Wipe Away the Stains: After soaking, remove the bag and discard the vinegar. Take a soft cloth or sponge and gently wipe away the stains. You’ll notice that the hard water deposits come off easily without the need for scrubbing.

Rinse and Dry: Rinse the faucet with water to remove any remaining vinegar, and then dry it with a clean cloth to prevent any new water spots from forming.
