Pour a cup of vinegar into the bowl, let it sit for an hour, then add a cup of baking soda. The fizz will attack the mineral ring like a tiny army. Scrub with a pumice stone (dipped in water first—always wet) for stubborn spots.
That ring? Gone. You’ll feel like you just conquered a mini kingdom. Pop a celebratory fizzy drink after—you earned it.
Clean Hard
A Quick Warning: Know Your Surfaces
Vinegar and lemon are acids, so avoid using them on natural stone (like marble or granite). They can etch the finish. For those, use a store-bought cleaner made specifically for stone—or just wipe with a dry microfiber cloth after each use.
When in doubt, test a tiny hidden spot first. This is the adult version of “look before you leap,” and it keeps your surfaces happy.
