Do you have hard water deposits in your bathroom sink? Don't worry! In Jamaica, with our tropical climate, it's a common issue. But, there's a simple way to remove them and get your sink looking shiny and new again. Just follow these easy steps:

Step 1: Gather Your Supplies

  • Vinegar (white or apple cider)
  • Old toothbrush or soft scrub brush
  • Microfiber cloth or sponge
  • Rubber gloves (optional)
  • Plastic wrap (optional)

Step 2: Apply Vinegar to the Deposits

First, put on your rubber gloves if you're using them. Then, soak the microfiber cloth or sponge in vinegar. Gently press the cloth against the hard water deposits in your sink. If the deposits are really stubborn, you can cover the area with plastic wrap to keep the vinegar in place. This will help the vinegar work its magic!

Step 3: Let the Vinegar Sit

Now, let the vinegar sit on the hard water deposits for at least 15 minutes. If the deposits are very thick, you may need to leave it for up to an hour. The vinegar will help break down the minerals in the deposits, making them easier to remove.

Step 4: Scrub the Deposits Away

After you've let the vinegar sit, it's time to scrub away the deposits. Use your old toothbrush or soft scrub brush to gently scrub the area. Be sure not to scratch your sink! You should see the hard water deposits starting to come off.

Step 5: Rinse and Dry

Once you've scrubbed away the deposits, rinse your sink with water. Then, dry it with a clean microfiber cloth. Your sink should now be free of hard water deposits and looking fresh and clean!
