Did you know that hard water is broadly defined as water that has a high mineral content? The hardness or softness of tap water often vary across different regions. With water flowing through our taps, into sinks, baths and toilets, the high mineral content found in hard water can have some irritating effects, such as calcium and magnesium deposits which build up and can be tough to remove. But, thanks to Harpic Bathroom Cleaning spray it’s easy to remove hard water stains from your bathroom.

When planning to get rid of calcium deposits, we recommend having the following tools and products on hand:

Frequently used areas

Frequently used areas like your shower, sinks, and baths are most susceptible to those unsightly hard water stains. Your bathroom can shine in no time, just follow these steps to clean hard water stains for good:

  1. Directly spray the Harpic Spray around the tub, bowl, or shower floor and leave for one minute.
  2. Wipe using a clean, dry cloth.
  3. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and buff to shine with a microfibre cloth, using small circular motions.

On taps

To clean hard water stains from your taps, be it on the bath, the sink or in the shower, simply follow the instructions below:

  1. Directly spray the Harpic Spray around the tub, bowl, or shower floor and leave for one minute.
  2. Wipe using a clean, dry cloth.
  3. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and buff to shine with a microfibre cloth, using small circular motions.

For those hard-to-reach corners, try using an old toothbrush to gently scrub the spray into the difficult areas that you can’t quite get to with a cloth. This deep cleaning technique will prevent hard water build up on your taps and leave them clean and gleaming. Always test the product on a small, inconspicuous area before use.

Depending on where you live, hard water stains can sometimes be unavoidable, but a regular deep cleaning routine will help keep persistent stains away."
