White vinegar is your first weapon. It’s a weak acid that dissolves those mineral skeletons on contact. Grab a spray bottle and fill it with undiluted white vinegar.
Spray it on your faucet. Let it sit for five minutes. This is crucial. The vinegar needs time to have a tiny chemical party with the spots.
Wipe it off with a microfiber cloth. Boom. Shiny. Your faucet will look like it just had a spa day. If the spots are ancient, repeat the process.
Fun Fact: The Lemon Backup
No vinegar? Use a lemon. Cut a lemon in half and rub it directly on the spot. The citric acid does the same job, but it smells way better.
Your kitchen will smell like a lemonade stand. Your spots will surrender. It’s a win-win for your nostrils.
