      1. Think acid. Anything with acidity can help clear away hard water stains on any surface.

        Use
        pure white vinegar in a spray bottle to work on hard water stains on
        glass doors. Many people use vinegar to clean coffee makers, dishwashers
        and garbage disposals. After the stains dissipate, follow up often with white vinegar to keep the stains from coming back.

      2. Scrub with a lemon. Cut a lemon in half and rub it directly on the stain. The acidity should cut through the soap scum.


      3. Mix 1 teaspoon of Calgon in a gallon of water. Wash the stained area and rinse well with water.


      4. Try
        a paste of white vinegar and baking soda on soap scum stains created by
        hard water. Let the paste sit on the stain for a while before rinsing
        thoroughly with water.


      5. Shop around. If vinegars and lemons aren't cutting it, you may need a more potent approach. Check out hardware stores

        and grocery aisles for more stringent chemical cleaners. To remove lime
        scale, you need a cleaner with sequestrants. Always be sure to follow
        the manufacturer directions and use in a well-ventilated area.
