Removing Hard Water Minerals (Scale)

Krista, CA asks:
Annie: I have hard water and find it difficult to remove water stains from my glass shower door. Any suggestions? -Thanks Vinegar cuts both the alkaline minerals found in water that result in scale, and soap scum. Use up to 1/4 cup white distilled vinegar to 1 cup of water in a spray bottle. Just make sure to avoid your eyes. Spray the vinegar solution on the door and let set for a while so the chemistry can work, before rinsing.

I use d-limonene to remove soap scum and build-up, it will dissolve this junk right before your eyes.

I live in Southwest Louisiana-a hotbed for mosquitoes. Is there a safe insect repellant I can use for my family?

Anything but elbow grease with a pumice stone work for anyone to get calcium stain buildup in bottom of toilet bowl?
