If you know me well, you know I am a clean freak, organizational-holic, and probably an undiagnosed OCDish kind of gal.

After 20 years in the same house, with no remodels no upgrades, I was getting really annoyed with all the grunginess of my very lived-in home. My sofa cushions are all ripped up, so I use blankets to cover over them. My creme colored carpets are so stained that I got rugs to put over them.

But my bathrooms.. they are a different story! We have very hard water where I live so hard water stains my bathtub and sinks to the point where scrubbing it to death will not remove them. I still could not stand looking at them even after I cleaned and scrubbed!

But no more!

My sink used to look like this...

Disgusting ain't it?

... to now this!

What did I do?

Soaked towels

with this...

 Vinegar is the key ingredient.. actually the only ingredient I used to get rid of those yucky stains.

And I used a lot (you can see I used over half of this huge container for 5 sinks.)

Here's the scoop:
 - First dry the area you are covering. No water anywhere.
- Soak a rag (I used paper towels) in 100% vinegar and lay them around the areas that have the hard water stains.
 - Let it sit for at least one hour. Depending on how old your stains are you might want it to sit for awhile. Since mine were 20 years old I let it sit for 3 hours but in my down stairs bathroom I let it sit overnight. The longer it sits; the easier the stains come off.
- After a few hours, remove the towels/rag and you can use a sponge to scrub away the stain easily.
- That's it!
