Hard Water and How to Remove it...Other way's less typical ways to clean the Las Vegas and Henderson Hard water spots off your toilets, Windows and Shower Doors

Fast Toilet Cleanup
Drop a couple of denture cleaning tablets in and let them fizz for a while. You might also consider pouring two cups of vinegar into the bowl and letting it sit for an hour, Your scrubbing should be minimal. If you have difficult to remove hard water stains from the sides of the bowl, try rubbing them with a pumice stone or filling the bowl with vinegar and leaving it to sit over night. 
Nasty rings in the toilet bowl are cause by hard water mineral deposits especially found in Las Vegas andHenderson Nevada hard water.To remove those toilet bowl rings, you can use either full strength white vinegar, a commercial mineral deposit remover, or if the deposits are heavy a pumice stone, will do the job quickly.
  • First, turn off the water supply to the toilet.
  • Flush the toilet to remove most of the water.
  • Soak some paper towels with full strength white vinegar and position these on the toilet bowl rings
  • Let the towels sit for several hours. The mild acid in the vinegar will work to dissolve the mineral deposits.
  • Scrub the ring with a green scrubbie or a nylon brush
If the vinegar does not do the trick, repeat the process with a commercial lime scale remover (you can purchase this at the grocery store)
If the vinegar or hard water lime scale remover it just not getting rid of the toilet bowl ring, you can use a pumice stone. Pumice is all natural volcanic rock that is a very good abrasive that gently dissolves as you use it.
We use pumice stones ourselves (at Mayberry's Maids) but it’s a delicate process, and it must be done carefully to avoid scratching the porcelain surface of the toilet bowl. Lots of water, and gentle consistent pressure is the key here.
  • Moisten the pumice stone (oh come on, just dip it in the toilet water- You have gloves on right?)
  • Rub the pumice stone on the toilet bowl ring, using gentle consistent pressure until it disappears.
  • Keep the pumice stone wet, re- moistening frequently
  • Use a green scrubby to finish up.
You will find that a lot of the tip's above will also work to remove hard water spots from your shower doors and windows.
