Have you got tough hard water stains that no cleaner will eliminate? Our powder room vanity had large stains, in spite of the fact that I washed often. Nothing appeared to remove the buildup before a friend suggested I try vinegar, a natural soap. It worked like a charm — and at the fraction of the expense of a cleaning product.

Gather your supplies:
• Spray bottle
• White vinegar
• Soft fabric
Fill a clean spray bottle with vinegar. (make certain to label the bottle with a permanent marker so that you’ll know exactly what you put inside for later use.) I used mine at full strength, but you can mix two parts water and one part vinegar for additional cleaning jobs.

Spray the hard water stains generously with vinegar and let it sit for five to ten minutes, depending on how stubborn your stain is. Before you spray the stain, be sure to test a small area of your counter or tile to be certain that the vinegar will not leave marks. It is friendly for most surfaces, with the exclusion of marble. I tried this in my kitchen counter too, and it worked beautifully.
I left the vinegar onto this stain for about ten minutes total, after doing a test for five minutes.

Wipe the vinegar off with your fabric and rinse with water — your stain should be eliminated!
If you don’t have white vinegar in the pantry, buy a bottle instantly. This useful liquid is all natural and functions as a stain remover, fabric softener and window cleaner.
