Cleaning Mineral Deposits Doesn’t Require a Protective Suit - By: Vincent Peter Platania

Gloves are an important safety accessory that will save your hands while you are cleaning mineral deposits in your bathroom or kitchen. Other than that, the job does not require a full-fledged protective suit!

Okay, so it’s not the greatest task, but it’s a necessity nonetheless. So let’s make the best of the situation and get down to the basics.

For this duty, you want to make sure you’ve got heavy-duty back-up in a can. Look for a non-abrasive cleaner that does not list ways to scrub off the likes of lime, hard mineral deposits, and rust, along with that milky-white film. Go for something that produces thick, non-abrasive foam. At the same time, watch for recyclable containers, some are made of plastic, and products that are safe to use with septic systems and various types of pipes.

This is where you can go wild and mine those minerals in your bathroom’s hotspots, such as the toilet bowl, sink, and shower stall. Down the hall in the kitchen, them minerals are hiding in places like your dishwasher and sink. Fixtures made from glass, ceramic tile, stainless steel, and glass are usually fine.

On the other hand, it’s a good idea to perform a test with many of these products to make sure that they won’t mess with more than what you’re trying to remove. Watch out if you’ve got real minerals such as gold (or brass)-plated fixtures, marble, aluminum or other metallic glazed surfaces. Most products are not advised for use on Formica or Fiberglass either.

Remember to poke your head up from cleaning mineral deposits once in a while. It can prevent a stiff neck! Always vary your repetitive movements, so you don’t give yourself a kink.

Beware that you need to know when you’re about to go too far. There are safety concerns to keep in mind when you’re gone on a high-powered polishing bee. Do not, I repeat, do not polish the floors of your shower or tub or you’ll run the risk of turning them into slippery danger zones.

Whether you use the cleaner directly or employ a damp cloth or sponge, make sure that you rinse off all surfaces after cleaning them. It’s time to see that mineral-free shine!

The best tip for easy cleaning of such natural elements is to attack hard water deposits sooner rather than later. After a couple of weeks, you’ll be mining real chunks of minerals, which is a whole other line of work. I’m only kidding, but it will add work!

Why not plan to tour the bathroom and kitchen more often in search of places to wipe clean every few days. You’ll save the misery of a more labor-intensive session the next time.

At the end of the day, you’ll be laughing about the particularities of cleaning mineral deposits. It won’t even bother you at all. There are, after all, worse things in the world to have to deal with, many of which do require that aforementioned suit.
