Have you tried Baam?
It works a lot better than Lime away (since they changed their product
and it doesn't work as good as it used to).
Baam is pretty cheap too. It also doesn't burn my skin like Lime-Away
does.
CLR, the last time I used it when the store was out of Lime-Away, and
before they came out with Baam....didn't seem to touch my hard water
deposits (liquid rock for water).
