I've had plans for this post for so long! It's addressing my favorite cleaning topic. Hard water and how to get rid of it. The answer is very simple....Lime-A-Way! In all it's forms! I have a major love affair with this cleaner. I buy it almost every time I'm at the store. I can't take the chance that I'll run out. The funny thing is, it isn't something I use every single time I clean. But, I use it hardcore on my first visit to most houses because every house seems to have some hard water buildup. It happens so easily! I wish I had known how great this product was years ago. I could have saved myself so much work and misery.
There are two kinds of Lime-A-Way that I use on a regular basis and here they are:
Now, I love them both dearly, but I use them for different situations. The spray foam Lime-A-Way is what I use on sinks, counters, glass, showers and tubs. The gel I mostly use inside toilet bowls, but it's incredible on other surfaces too if they have significant hard water build up. More on that in a minute.
WARNING: You have to be very careful with Lime-A-Way on metal. You can use it, but you have to spray, soak for 1-2 minutes, and then scrub and rinse thoroughly. If the hard water isn't removed, you can apply it again, but you can't leave it on metal for too long or it will do weird things to it, like discolor it or actually eat it away. I still use it on metal all the time, I'm just careful not to leave it sitting more than 1-2 minutes.
However, on most surfaces, it's incredible and you can leave it to soak for a long time if you need to. My favorite is to use it on toilets that have really bad hard water build up. I can pour it in and around the bowl and leave it while I clean the rest of the house and it will seriously clear up that hard water residue like nothing else!
