Accidental Discovery

I had the greatest discovery this morning as I was cleaning toilets. Ok. That sounds gross, but it's really not. AFTER I was done cleaning the upstairs bathroom, I squirted a bit of the toilet bowl cleaner in the sink because it has pretty bad hard water stains in it. When I came to check on it, the spot I had squirted was pure sparkling white! Wow! I have been trying different things for years to get that yucky stuff off & I still can't believe toilet bowl cleaner took 8 years worth of hard water stains off in 8 seconds. (That is not an exaggeration!) So I looked at the bottle & this is what I discovered...

See the REMOVES tag? Ha. I didn't know I had gotten this kind & certainly didn't know it this morning when I tried it. But you know the best part of the whole thing? This regular-sized bottle probably cost less than $2 @ Wal-Mart. And it cleaned so good, I'm going to keep a bottle on hand just for cleaning my sink. Which, by the way, looks like this now....

I wish I had a before picture. From the faucet all the way down & around the drain was an orangy rust color, even the metal stopper had some on it. Now they all shine!

One warning though, the stuff is potent! Make sure you ventilate the room if possible & wear rubber gloves! I have a cut on my finger & that stuff got on it & it burned like crazy!
