Cleaning Mineral Deposits From Vases

RE: Cleaning Mineral Deposits From Vases Post By Erin (Guest Post) (11/13/2008) When I used to be a waitress we would clean the coffeepots by putting ice, lemon juice, and salt inside and then swishing them around.

It comes in a clear spray bottle with red writing and lists various items that it can be used on. After soaking, I scrub lightly with a very gentle steel wool pad. It works wonders compared to every thing else I have tried! Very little scrubbing involved.

It is a stronger acid than vinegar, but if vinegar doesn't do the job, than you need something stronger. I have not used Lime Away, but it must be a similar product -- that is, an acid.

I have an antique bud vase - glass - that has deposits. I've tried vinegar thinking that if it works in irons and coffee machines it would work here, but it didn't. All suggestions are welcome! Judi in Orlando Answers: RE: Cleaning Mineral Deposits From Vases Judi, you might want to try denture cleaning tablets (the kind that fizz), and let it soak quite awhile. (01/14/2005) By Luvyabye RE: Cleaning Mineral Deposits From Vases Hello All! Try wetting a paper towel with vinegar and then laying the towels over the lip of the vase, or where ever stains are. Leave on for an hour or two, this may have to be repeated. (01/14/2005) By Trish in Tucson RE: Cleaning Mineral Deposits From Vases If any of the soaking methods don't work try a bit of water and washing up liquid and a spoon or two of sand. Swish around gently. Keep pouring out and rinsing to check if its clean so you don't overdo it and scratch the glass. Regards (01/14/2005) By Jo Bodey RE: Cleaning Mineral Deposits From Vases A denture cleaning tablet and some hot (not boiling) water and soaking for a while like a previous poster stated, worked wonders for me in a similar situation when vinegar didn't work very well.

(01/15/2005) RE: Cleaning Mineral Deposits From Vases Judi, Try putting aquarium gravel in with the vinegar. Swoosh it around until it removes the deposits. Jack (07/11/2005) By Jack RE: Cleaning Mineral Deposits From Vases Try filling the vase with water and drop in a couple of Efferdent (denture cleaner) tablets.

(04/27/2008) By larry RE: Cleaning Mineral Deposits From Vases There is a product called "The Original Buddy" it's a mini scrubber that you drop into the vase - then control it from the outside with a patented magnetic handle. You scrub out the entire inside then just pull the mini scrubber back out - make sense? For tough stains use Buddy with rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover. www.TheOriginalBuddy.com or go to Google and type "Vase Cleaner" (05/06/2008) By VASE CLEANER Report Spam or Abuse
