Lime Away and CLR are two different products which seem to do the
same thing.

The water delivered to my house has a lot of lime with a dash of
rust from the iron ore in this area. I often use "white vinegar"
to dissolve the lime encrusted on faucets.

I put some vinegar in the part of the spigot...the handle that pulls out...I
unscrewed it and poured a drop of vinegar in it where the deposits are and
let it sit overnight, but the deposits did not dissolve away. (I did this
last week).

How about the Lime Away in the washer?

Thanks!!
