Hard Water Stains on Porcelain

RE: Hard Water Stains on Porcelain Post by HardWaterExpert (3) | (09/28/2008) Profile | Contact As porcelain enamel is a glass surface fused to a metal base it is advisable not to use acid cleaners on porcelain enamel. Porcelain enamel is acid resistant but not acid proof - the glass coating can be gradually dissolved by acids and expose the metal underneath and cause a lot of damage. Natural Formula to Use: A mixture of baking soda and warm water Method to Use: 1.Make up the mixture of water and baking soda 2.Scrub stains with a soft brush or sponge 3.Rinse thoroughly with water to remove all residue Tip: When scrubbing the stains be careful to rub gently as once the porcelain surface has been scratched it easily picks up any grease, dirt or soap residue. Then harsh abrasives really are necessary to remove debris that has become ingrained within the surface!

It's a paste that you wipe on, leave on for a few minutes to dissove the minerals, and wipe off. Invented by a gal that got tired of trying things that didn't work!

Holloway House Orange oil works like a charm and another reader said De-Solv-It worked for her! Good luck!
