Review on 🧽 Shaw's Pads - Eco-Friendly Cleaner Pads for Porcelain Toilets, Ceramic Tiles, Sinks, and More (3 Pack) by Laura Jenkins

I live in a well water only house in the Southwest United States. Our water is very hard, full of calcium. So since we moved in 10 years ago I (the cleaning lady) have struggled with hard water build up on faucets, on shower floors, on glass shower doors, in toilets along plumbing etc. I'm a bit of an obsessive-compulsive disorder when it comes to cleanliness, and I've been confused for years because despite my incessant hard cleaning, I've never managed to get rid of the ugly hard water lines in our toilets. We have 4 toilets in the house, most of them are new in the last 3 years. Even new toilets form a ring of limescale within a few weeks of use. I've tried vinegar on problem spots with deposits for 48 hours, baking soda, I've used fine sandpaper, I've used a pumice stone, I've cleaned with Mr. NOTHING touched the accumulation of calcium. I was so excited and felt defeated. Luckily, I heard about these kids about 6 months ago while researching (again) professional advice on hard water purification. They change the rules of the game! I've used them a few times to clean the ugly calcified toilet water rings and the toilets look brand new until the calcium builds up in the water again. I usually remove the calcium in each cabinet about every 4 months or as needed before visiting guests. I've used them on our white porcelain sinks and they work great and I haven't noticed any scratches from them. The pumice sticks I used definitely left scratches, and the lime itself seemed to have etched itself into the porcelain in some places. These pads are AMAZING. Just wet them and gently rub (sometimes for a very long time) until the hardened calcium is gone. TIP: If you suffer from hard water, don't scratch your beautiful metal fittings. Whenever I clean my stainless steel faucets or kitchen sink, I first clean well with the recommended cleaner I have on hand. After this, the metals may appear a little dry or rough and hard water deposits still remain. A great trick to hide wear is to put a few drops of olive oil on a paper towel and rub it very well into the completely dry metal. This makes it shine and look new. I do this every cleaning.
