Except for Undies (who I knew would appreciate my handy tip), everyone on CC must be pigs.  :p

No, not quite.

As a matter of fact, I just did a major cleaning of the basement. Our sewer line backed up. I was more concerned about cleaning out the shit and the toilet paper remnants out of the bathtub downstairs than a couple of water spots.

Water spots are worthy, though. Really. But I was busy with more "heady" problems.

Mrs.B's cleaning tip really does work. Astoundingly so. I didn't have dish goop so I used a lil' liquid hand soap instead. ZIP! Clean as a whistle.

I tried this method out of disinterested curiosity and skepticism, and am slightly off put that the dryer thingy and soap goop works better than advertised.

Who knew?

That is a good tip BEG. I have always had hard water wherever I lived, but where I am now is the hardest I've ever seen. The island is an ancient coral reef, and I have a shallow well. I have one of those Whistler glass tea kettles. If you boil tap water in it, it is immediately coated white on the inside first time. Filtering the water with a Brita seems to knock that down quite a bit.

Whoa, I hope people aren't drinking that without boiling it.

Boiling it does nothing to the hardness.. the water isn't polluted, just extra hard.

But I do brita filter it before consuming. Everybody on this island has been drinking the water all their lives, and most of them are in their 80's and 90's, no third eyes or anything.

We used steel wool when I worked at a hotel.
