How can one get rid of the white stuff in coffeepots, shower heads and glass shower doors?
Minerals dissolved in water tend to settle out when water is heated or evaporates. These minerals are white and accumulate in coffeepots and on shower heads and glass shower doors. To remove these minerals, fill the coffeepot with vinegar and let it sit overnight, or soak the shower head overnight in a plastic bowl filled with vinegar. Slowly addition of one tablespoon of muriatic acid to one quart of vinegar will help, but this in not necessary. Be careful not to spill this mixture. When you are done, carefully discard the contents of the plastic bowl down a drain, and flush the container and sink drain with plenty of water. Rinse the coffeepot or shower head thoroughly after treatment and before use. White spots on glass shower doors are difficult to remove with vinegar because the spots dissolve very slowly. A better idea is to prevent the spots from forming by wiping the glass door with a damp sponge or towel after each shower.
