How to Deal With Hard Water Stains in Edmonton

Edmonton’s hard water leaves white mineral scale on fixtures, glass and tile. The fix is to descale with a mild acidic cleaner rather than scrubbing abrasively, then keep surfaces dry to slow buildup.

Why it happens here

Edmonton’s water carries dissolved minerals that leave a cloudy film as it dries — on shower glass, chrome fixtures, kettles and tile. Scrubbing harder just dulls the finish.

How to remove it

• Use a mild descaling or vinegar-based cleaner suited to the surface.
• Let it dwell, then wipe — don’t grind abrasives into chrome or glass.
• Dry fixtures after use to slow new buildup.
