Hard water stains can develop on many surfaces, including plastic. Hard water will leave a plastic surface looking dark and cloudy. Use this guide below to remove these stains from plastic.

How To Get Rid Of Hard Water Stains On Plastic

Hard water spots are the result of water with high iron content. Limescale buildup is visible where the water is distributed.

Use white vinegar when attempting to rid plastic of any hard water stains. White vinegar is naturally acidic, allowing the solution to cut through limescale buildup on any surface, including plastic.
