CLEANING HACKS! - TOP 5 METHODS TO GET RID OF WATER MARKS!

CLEANING HACKS! - TOP 5 METHODS TO GET RID OF WATER MARKS!




Water spots are caused by minerals deposits after evaporation of water on a surface. It is highly visible on reflective and shiny surfaces. Water marks are alkali based and therefore can be removed using acidic base solvents. Common household items with acidic properties will be able to help us remove and prevent water marks effectively.

1) Vinegar solution
The higher the concentration, the more effective it will be. Spray the vinegar solution generously onto water mark surfaces especially on areas with higher concentration of water marks. Allow the deposits to soak and repeat spraying if needed for stubborn water mark areas. Use a vinegar soaked towel to wipe on the affected areas. Rinse off the vinegar and use a squeegee to make sure no water/vinegar are left on the surface after rinsing.

2) Lemon / toothpaste
Use lemon juice / toothpaste to replace vinegar and follow the steps above. You can try using fresh half cut lemon directly onto the surface and rub it with slight pressure. Repeat the steps for vinegar solutions. Lemon/toothpaste definitely smells much better than vinegar and is as effective.

3) Baking Soda
Baking soda method is using abrasion to remove water mark. Wet the surface and apply baking soda onto it to form an abrasive paste. Use a cloth to rub the paste on the surface to eliminate the water marks. This should be followed by rinsing and drying as mentioned in point 1 above.

4) Off the rack water mark remover
There are many available brands of water mark remover cleanser. Try looking for online reviews to choose a reliable one. Effectiveness does not have to comes with a high price tag. Remember to follow instructions carefully and store it from the reach of children.

5) Prevention is better than cure
Keeping your surfaces dry after every use will prevent water marks. Rinse your shower screens with warm water before drying them with a squeegee. Water repellent is very useful in preventing water marks because in the first place, water will not be able to stay on the surface.
