This really works! I was looking to buy a new vanity and faucet, then I tried this and the stains and buildup are gone...looks like a new sink and faucet!! Thanks for the tip. Just one more use for my favorite go-to...white distilled vinegar!!
I concur. It works very well. Thank you!
I just used the White Vinegar today with paper towels and it worked perfectly!
Thanks Happi, Great Kvaabs. I also used Vinegar and with Lemon and it works great. You can also see that kvaabs.
I did it on a brushed nickel faucet and ruined the finish.
Thank you! That looks like an easy fix!!!!
Haha Infantile! You are so handy in these videos. Nice job
thank you Papi :) you're like batman up so late
Rubber bands help too
Edit: also if you have an electric toothbrush, wait it you have to replace the head (clean it first) and use that.
:)
I’ll try this. Thank you!!
can you let me know how it went?
Thank you HappiFix! My bf really likes your channel. :)

Tried this and it ruined my nickel Waterworks faucets. The faucet pictured here looks like a lacquered nickel finish, or possibly even a fad nickel finish. Do not soak true nickel in vinegar for more than a few minutes. Beware!
I APPRECIATE THAT INFO I DID NOT KNOW THAT. A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE GRANITE OR MARBLE AND VINEGAR WILL ETCH AND DULL IT.
I have the same problems will take your advice
Good luck sunnie!
Thank you for this!!
🙂🙋♂️🙂🙋♂️
Nice. Thank you.
Hay!!!!
Removing hard water on sink fixtures- I’ve tried it all.. vinagre, vinagre baking soda, Ajax, lemon baking soda, lemon salt, Lysol, comet, scrubbing bubbles, awesome, oxiclean, CLR, and bar keepers friend(which works but with time and plenty of elbow grease). Best and easiest thing is ... WD40. 🤦🏼♀️ save yourself the time and money.
Does that really work lily?
@@HappiFix yes, i was so surprised! Buildup came right off in small bits, I scrubbed lightly with a toothbrush and a piece of plastic (I used an old credit card).
Thanks!!!
No problem!
DON"T DO THIS!! Made my faucet look worse; took the finish off my faucet. As you can see by his faucet his finish is off as well. I just assumed it was because of age but apparently it's not.
I do thi all the time LIAR!!!!!!!😡
@@jeniferletkiewicz2129 ...you can both easily be right and wrong at the same time because your faucets and their finishes most likely are not the same and thus handle the potential corrosion differently
Can you use apple cider vinegar?
I am not sure Monica, I've never used it before. Can you let us know the results if you try it?
Can this technique be used on a kitchen faucet? My counter top is of quartz.
NO YOU WANT TO AVOID VINEGAR ON ANY STONE OR MARBLE IT WILL ETCH IS AND DULL IT.
You should have removed the handles. There would most probably be more mineral deposits under the handles.
If all Delta faucets use the same size of socket screws, you need a 3/32” Allen/hex key to retract the socket screws a bit (just enough to pull off the handles).
How to remove handles though. Mine are stuck even after removing hex.
@@24rxman Wiggle it. If still stuck, use a small pry bar. Cover the edge with cloth so you don't nick the faucet.
@@MaruyaSAg I sprayed six percent vinegar and let it sit. I ll keep wiggling. I don’t have a pry bar just a flat head.
@@MaruyaSAg ok I wiggled about a minute after spraying vinegar and letting it sit four hours and then got right one off : ). Now the left one is just being very stubborn.
What can I use to get the hard water deposits off of my Moen brushed nickel sink faucets? I know that vinegar & Clr can damage the finish but not sure what else I can use instead. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Sorry for the late response Jennifer, I've been swamped with work/school.
When you say finish, I am guessing the granite. I usually just use a cloth to keep the vinegar contained and not allow it to seep onto my granite.
What about the finish on faucets that have a colored burnished finish?
Richard Probert vinegar will be fine.
@@znrctrnn vinegar ruined the finish on mine.
@@deborahoakes9465 I have Kohler nickel facets. It seems they are not close in materials then.
Does it work also on tiles?
never tried Francis. If you do, could you let us know please?
I will try and if it works, I will let you know.
So, did it work?
@@Simbu. A tile fell on Francis's when he was cleaning the tiles. He has not been the same ever since.
Won't the vinegar ruin my granite counter top?
I actually don't know Rod. I don't leave there too long, and I haven't seen a difference yet.
yes, vinegar eats thru granite
that's good to know. I always use a rag to contain the vinegar so maybe that's why I haven't noticed any changes.
The counter material on your video looks like cultured marble which is man made and not calcium based so it's probably ok.
Rod Parra Vinegar or any acidic cleaner should not be used on natural stones. Granite is a natural stone.
Great video! If you have any issues removing the facet handle take a look here: ruclips.net/video/yuBsk2WQnTI/видео.html
geeezzz, just get CLR or Lime Away and be done with it
nr3rful Why “geeezzz”? Even when using CLR or Lime away, you’d still have to let the liquid sit awhile before you can easily scrub off the mineral deposits.
Use whatever you have. If you have vinegar, then use it.
vinegar is so much cheaper, you're flushing that crap down the sink btw.
Into the water supply... that people end up DRINKING...
