Hard Water Stains

We are trying to sell our house and we have really bad hard water stains on our glass shower doors. We have tried everything!!! Vinegar, Lime-a-way, Bleach, all kinds of cleaners from the store... Please if you have any magic cures let me know!!

Re: Hard Water Stains

  • I'm normally not a fan of it (I try to stay away from heavy chemicals), but have you tried CLR?

    Hard water stains are actually calcium deposits. If you've tried CLR to no avail, try to google calcium deposit removal.

  • Have you tried bar keepers friend?  That's always where I start. 
  • I actually have had the best luck with something called "Kaboom" in a purple bottle and a Magic Eraser "Bathroom" version which has a scrubby side.

    At my grandmother's house the shower doors were so bad I took them off the track and laid them flat in the yard so the Kaboom could soak on them for 20 minutes, then scrubbed and hosed.  She lived in a rural area and had a well, so the hard water deposits were crazy.

  • Try any cleaning product by The Works.  I've used the toilet bowl cleaner in the shower before because it's extra thick and works well. Also Whink makes a great hard water stain remover.

  • I've heard that fresh lemons work well on hard water stains! 
  • I was going to say the Works.  I love that stuff.  I absolutely hate our well water, and it works wonders on our bath tub.  DH and I will pour the toliet bowl cleaner into the bath tub because it's so much easier.  The shower spray takes forever, but when we pour it, it's gone almost instantly!
