How to Remove Water Stains from Taps?

Cream of tartar is a moderate acid and a baking ingredient. It works as a good alternative for baking soda to remove hard water stains. It is non-abrasive and thus suits a lot of taps made with different materials. 

1. Make a paste of water and cream of tartar. 

2. Spread the paste over the hard water-stained area on your tap.

3. Let the paste sit for about half an hour. 

4. Then, scrub the paste using a moist towel.

5. Rinse the tap with fresh water and pat dry using a soft cloth.

6. You will observe shiny taps once you finish the process.

This is the complete process to remove water stains from your taps. I hope you find this useful.

4. If there is still extra vinegar in the bowl, cover the cloth-wrapped tap with it until it is fully submerged.
5. Then clean it with water and your taps will be as good as new.
