Hard water leaves calcium and mineral residue around faucets, sinks, and drying areas. Vinegar may dissolve deposits but can etch calcium-based stone and damage some sealers. Begin with mild cleaner, warm water, and a nonabrasive tool. Heavy buildup may require a product approved by the countertop manufacturer or professional stone restoration.
Key considerations
