Removing ''hard water" stains from brick work.
We live in an area with especially hard water and had an issue with a toilet overflow- fixed some time back. However, it left some stains on the wall. I had hoped they would fade but they hadn't. Scrubbing and power washing hasn't helped. Does anyone have any suggestions, please? |
