It's well water, terribly hard and full of lime...no public water available in this area so I have to take what I get...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------We have a good quality kitchen sink that has lime and rust deposits built up by the drain, I have tried everything I can think of to remove the stains, Lime Away, CLR, Ajax, Bon Ami, Clorox, Comet, Iron Out, etc. Every single cleaner fails to dissolve the build up, even when the deposits are soaked overnight. It is possible to chip off part of the deposits using a plastic scraper, but I am not going to use a metal scraper or SOS pad except as a last resort. I have tried WD-40, paint thinner, Goodbye Splatters, Goof Off, all kinds of solvents, nothing will soften the stuff.
HELP, PLEASE !! :confused2:
Visit a janitor supply for your muratic acid cleaning needs. They will probably have some around 23 percent. With heavy buildup it may take awhile alternating between soaking and scraping with the plastic scraper.
And they will have Nitrile gloves by the box.
