✅ 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
