If your shower door looks like it’s been spray-painted by a ghost, vinegar is your trusty sidekick. Pour equal parts vinegar and warm water into a spray bottle—no need to measure, just eyeball it like you’re seasoning fries. Spritz it on the stains, let it sit for five minutes (time it by scrolling through your phone), and then wipe with a microfiber cloth. Pro tip: If the stain is stubborn, wrap a vinegar-soaked paper towel over the spot and let it marinate for an hour.
I once tried this on a faucet that looked like a fossil exhibit. After the soak, I wiped it off, and the chrome gleamed like it was trying out for a jewelry commercial. I swear the faucet winked at me. Just remember: vinegar smells like a deli pickle’s revenge, so open a window unless you want your bathroom to smell like a school lunch.
Baking Soda: The Gentle Scrubby Pal
For stains that have dug in their heels like a toddler refusing a nap, bring out baking soda. Make a paste with a little water—aim for the consistency of wet sand. Use an old toothbrush (not the one you use on your actual teeth, unless you enjoy crunchy toothpaste) to gently scrub the stain. This method works wonders on glass shower doors and sink edges where hard water builds up like a tiny, mineral crust.
I did this on my kitchen sink last week, and the circle where the faucet drips vanished. I may have celebrated by doing a little dance. The best part? Baking soda is cheap, non-toxic, and won’t scratch your surfaces—unlike that one friend who tries to help but leaves a mess.
