Removing Calcium Deposits From Chrome Faucets

Chrome faucets lend an air of elegance and understated sophistication to your bathroom or kitchen, but not if they are covered with calcium deposits and hard water stains. If you have hard water in your home or apartment, you need to clean your chrome faucets on a regular basis to keep them looking like new. While you could buy an expensive chrome cleaner to remove those calcium deposits, you can make your own cleaner for far less.
