Some Quick and Easy Cleaning Methods

Chalky stains can ruin the appearance of your glassware, dishes, and appliances. Though hard water is not a serious safety hazard, they are not appetizing, to say the least. Fortunately, we have some techniques on how to remove those stains quickly and easily:

  •  Fill a spray bottle with ½ cup vinegar for every cup of water. Spray this solution over the shower glass and spread it with a damp sponge. Let the solution sit on the glass for at least 5 minutes by reapplying solution continuously. Rinse the solution off the door with warm water.
  •  You can also perform the previous method using lemon juice or rubbing alcohol but wipe the solution quicker if using these liquids.
  •  You can tackle severe buildup by spraying oven cleaner on the stains. Let it sit for 30 minutes before rinsing with warm water and wiping down with a squeegee.
  •  Tough and stubborn stains can call for calcium, lime, and rust remover, but this chemical is a TOXIC chemical cleaner. Practice extreme caution and read the product’s directions carefully. Keep this away from children and pets!

Getting to the Root of the Problem

If you are getting tired of cleaning hard water stains from your shower glass, then why not get to the root of the problem? The source of those stains is likely hard water. Hard water has a high mineral content, especially calcium, limestone, and magnesium. You can “soften” the water by removing these excess minerals. How? With an aptly named water softening system.

These filtration systems are installed at the water supply’s point of entry, meaning the water is filtered as it enters your property. They can also be installed at targeted locations. There are many types of whole house filtration systems with techniques including reverse osmosis, ion exchange, catalytic conversion, and oxidation. Choose the one that best suits your situation and needs. The folks at Rooter Hero Plumbing are happy to help you explore your options.
