I have a major lime buildup on the outside of my stainless steel commercial ice maker. Any suggestions on what I can use to clean it? I have tried CLR, Scrubbing Bubbles, Lime Away, etc., but nothing has even begun to remove it. Any suggestions?

If you can find it, run a package of lemon-lime kool-aid through your dishwasher cycle (with no dishes). It will take most (if not all) the hard water stains out of it.

My car windows have very difficult water stains and I believe I can remove them with carbonate soda, lime, and vinegar. Do you know how to prepare?

Hi All,
I tried to clean scaling from the kettle by mixing 1:100 parts of Floor Cleaning Acid : Water, I poured this mix in the kettle and 2 minutes later all the scaling disappeared.
Be careful when you mix, if the concentration is more it may effect the kettle forever.
Thanks
Bharath

Smart and Final sells large bottles of white vinegar. “undiluted white vinegar” is just what you’d find in any grocery store, heinz being a major brand, but the large bottles are more economical for cleaning purposes.

I have a white film on the inside of some of my glasses…the dishwasher doesn’t remove it at all! Any ideas?
Also, what is the best thing to use to clean a dishwasher? I’ve used vinegar & other dishwasher cleaning products & nothing works!!

Does anyone know how to get rid of hard water stains on mirrors? I heard white vinegar works and I’m about to try it. I wonder though, do I have to let it sit or can I soak it in a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser Sponge and then wipe it off. Any tips would be appreciated!
