Grab a spray bottle and fill it with equal parts white vinegar and water. That’s it. No fancy ratios. Just eyeball it and call it a day. Spray the mixture directly onto the hard water spots on your faucets, shower heads, or glass doors.
Let it sit for five to ten minutes. Go check your phone, pet your cat, or practice your victory dance. The vinegar is doing all the heavy lifting while you lounge.
After the wait, wipe the area with a soft cloth or sponge. For extra stubborn spots, use a non-abrasive scrubber. You don’t want to scratch your shiny surfaces—that’s how you end up with a new set of problems.

The Baking Soda Booster
If the vinegar spray alone isn’t cutting it (those spots are tenacious!), make a paste with baking soda and a tiny bit of water. Spread the paste on the spots, let it sit for a minute, then scrub gently. The paste acts like a gentle sandpaper, lifting the gunk away.
Rinse with water and wipe dry. Your shower door will look so clear you might accidentally walk into it. (Please don’t.)
