How to Get Calcium Deposits off a Glass Stove Top Pot

Any household items or surfaces repeatedly exposed to hard water can become covered with calcium deposit stains. Your glass stove top pot is no exception. Cookware is not exempt from stains and spots caused by the minerals in your water. When left untended, these deposits build up to create a white, flaky film on otherwise clean pots. You can get calcium deposits off your pots with the use of common household supplies and effective cleaning procedures.
