How does this work to remove stubborn hard water stains around a faucet? Willing to out in sweat labor w a flat blade as long as it works.

My granite sink is still fairly new, so the stains I have had were not very challenging. The product did remove them, but overall I do not consider this a particularly powerful cleaning agent. You may need to add another cleanser.

No Granite Gold will not work for hard water spots- I have used a utility knife and that works well. You will not scratch the granite if you make sure the utility knife is sharp and you are just gently removing the hard water stains.

I personally haven't had that problem but I know I have had good luck with it cleaning my granite and it is SO worth the price. It's worth a try.

hey!! i actually know the answer to your problem. i used to live in a house with a well and for the first time in my life, had hard water stains in my toilet. i didn't even know what they were for awhile (i had grown up with city water) but i couldn't get rid of them for the life of me. i don't know how i found them, but i bought something called "pumice sticks" and the hard water stains rubbed right off!!!! i can't understand how they didn't scratch the toilet itself, but they didn't. i just checked and amazon sells them - do a search on pumice sticks. and frankly, i see that they sell them with handles - get those!! mine were just rectangle blocks and even with gloves, i hated having to actually stick my hands into my toilet and scrub away. a handle would have been a nice option. good luck!!

Works well. Increase dwell time from lacquer. Couple coats before scraping off. No water until end. Scraper, steel wool, then hot water and nylon brush, then pressure washer, then soap and water, then pressure washer. Faster the better when scrubbing off stripper. Commit to it otherwise you'll just have to do it twice. Oxalic acid if you get black spots.

I've only used it on oil and butter stains, on which it worked VERY well to remove them from my white granite. Water stains? I don't know.

I have used it to remove ink from silk and ink from the carpet. Also to remove a set in chocolate stain from the carpet, and RED Georgia clay from our carpet, too. It is the only thing that worked. I tried everything. It is stronger than bleach in cleaning white tennis shoes and the white on tires. And yet, it is not harmful to your skin. Will clean water spots on the shower door when nothing else worked. It is worth every penny and more. I would be willing to pay twice as much. It is that good. Follow the instructions. When I used it in my steam cleaner, it works better in really hot water. Amazing stuff. I have used it to remove ink from silk and ink from the carpet.

I have just used good hot soapy water- It has a brushed finish so I wouldn't scour or anything; if need be I bet 409 with a paper towel would do the job..hope that helps~

If the water marks are old, it won't take them off. If it's something you keep on cleaning regularly, yes it will take them away. For hard old water marks I would recommend a different product than this one. it shine the sink though very nicely.

I just used it to clean up some iron stains on both my commode and tub. It seems to work best if you sprinkle it on, dampen it and let it set a bit before you scrub. It is not quite as effective on lime buildup but did quite well on the rust stains.

I tried and tried to "wiggle" it to remove. No luck. Had I known - I would not have bought it. However it works well. Will continue to push the blades out and run over hot water to clean.

Try it. It removed dark stains from my tub. After application it works best if left in place for an hour before rinsing.

It removed hard water stains for me without streaks. The label claims it removes tree sap, but it did not remove the pine tree sap from my car.

I haven't tried it for that, but I suspect it would work...with a fair bit of elbow grease. Perhaps dropping a couple of denture cleaners in first, then using BKF would make it easier? We used to use a product called The Works for hard water stains. Works a charm, but it's extremely caustic.

a very good question, how does it work...... in my humble opinion it does not work at all. I tried using in in the shower with lots of steam and absolutely nothing. tried it on my feet after soaking and although I did see some dead skin on the blade it was not enough to make much of a difference. I see a lot of rave reviews but unfortunately it did not work for me.

I don't have an answer but you could try using a cleaner such as comet, A=Jack maybe that would help also put in your sink while you scrub or even try brillo scrub and rinse and try again

If you have hard water build up, you may have to find a product to remove that first. I forget what I have used in the past. Your local hardware store can advise. Otherwise, Sprayway is the best of the best. And I've tried everything! Their stainless cleaner/shiner is also great. No streaks.

Yes it does remove rust stains. We have very hard well water and White Brite works great in our laundry.

I don't know if it works on sinks with hard water. If you have a lot of lime or calcium deposits I would guess you would want to use a product like Bar Keepers Friend. I primarily use the Weiman Stainless Steel Cleaner to remove finger prints from stainless steel appliances. If you have other stainless steel items I would say purchase the product for those items and then you will have a good use for the product if it doesn't work on the sink.
