✅ No scrubbing needed? Sometimes,
the vinegar dissolves the stain completely — just wipe clean.
Step 3: Rinse & Shine
Rinse the area with clean water
Dry with a soft microfiber cloth — this prevents new water spots
Admire your like-new shine
✨ Bonus: Your faucet will sparkle like it just came out of the showroom.
🔄 For Extra-Tough Stains: Try the Baking Soda Paste
If vinegar alone isn’t enough:
Make a paste: 2 parts baking soda + 1 part vinegar
Apply to the stain
Let sit 10–15 minutes
Scrub with the sponge
Rinse and dry
✅ This fizzy combo boosts cleaning power — great for shower doors or porcelain sinks.
🚿 Where Else This Works
This method isn’t just for sinks and faucets.
It works on:
Shower doors and tiles
Bathtubs
Toilet rims
Appliance finishes (like stainless steel fridges)
Glass surfaces
✅ Tip: For showerheads, remove and soak in a vinegar-filled plastic bag for 1 hour — then rinse.
