How to Remove Hard Water Stains

What Are Hard Water Stains?

Hard water stains occur when water with high mineral content evaporates and leaves behind mineral deposits. These appear as white, chalky residue on glass, metal and ceramic surfaces. You’ll find them on shower doors, faucets, sinks and toilets.

Hard water buildup can damage surfaces over time. The minerals can etch into glass and corrode metal fixtures so it’s important to address these stains as soon as possible. Preventative maintenance and regular cleaning is key to keeping your home looking pristine.

DIY Hard Water Stain Removal Methods

Vinegar and Baking Soda Solution

A tried and true method for removing hard water stains is to mix equal parts white vinegar and baking soda. Apply the paste to the affected area, let it sit for 15 minutes then scrub and rinse. This works on sinks, faucets and glass surfaces.

Lemon Juice and Salt Scrub

For a more natural approach combine lemon juice and salt to create a gentle cleaner. The acidity of the lemon breaks down mineral deposits and the salt adds scrubbing power. This works well for kitchen fixtures and tile grout.

Commercial Hard Water Stain Removers

Sometimes DIY solutions just don’t cut it. In these cases consider using commercial cleaners specifically designed to break down calcium and limescale. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions to avoid damaging surfaces.

How to Prevent Hard Water Stains

Install a Water Softener

The best way to prevent hard water stains is to install a water softener. This device reduces the mineral content in your water and minimizes buildup on surfaces.

Regular Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular cleaning is key to preventing mineral deposits from building up. Use gentle cleaners regularly to keep surfaces free from buildup. Our Standard Cleaning and Deep Cleaning services are designed to maintain your home’s freshness and shine.

Surface Protection

Applying a sealant to glass and tiles creates a protective barrier and reduces the risk of hard water damage. This is especially useful in areas prone to moisture such as bathrooms and kitchens.
