Taps and Faucets

Natural Formulas to Use:

1.Equal parts water & white vinegar plus a squeeze of lemon juice
2.Mixture of a small amount of white vinegar and baking soda (for scrubbing)

Method to Use:

1.Fill any type of plastic bag large enough to submerge the faucet with the water, white vinegar and lemon juice mixture.

2.Fasten the bag over the faucet with duct tape, rubber bands, hardware clamps; whatever you can find around the house that will hold it tightly.

3.Let the faucet soak in the solution overnight or for a few hours.

4.Remove the bag, repeat as necessary.

5.Rinse and wipe dry with a paper towel to restore the sparkle.

Tips:
For the area around the edge of the sink a towel soaked in the vinegar solution to dissolve any hard water stains works fantastically well (or see alternative method below). Stubborn stains or deposits of dirt under the edges of the faucet can be scrubbed with an old toothbrush using a mixture of vinegar and baking soda (just enough vinegar to make a paste).
