The cleaning guru shared a video of her trick in practice and revealed the sparkling results.

‘Life hack: rub candle wax on your faucet. Water will bead right off. No more hard water stains!’ she wrote.

Many were thankful for her simple hack, while others shared different ways to tackle pesky hard water stains.

‘I really needed this, thank you – I’m going to do this to my whole sink,’ a woman said.

‘Wax paper works really well, too!’ another added. ‘Just rub it in really well.’

‘White vinegar on a microfiber towel works best for sinks and mirrors,’ a third wrote.

Another recalled, ‘My mum always used baby oil on our taps and they’d sparkle.’

Is hard water dangerous? 

Hard water has high levels of calcium and magnesium particles, which bind to chemicals in soaps and shampoos called surfactants – which act as detergents – making them insoluble, so they build up on the skin.

This disturbs the natural balance of bacteria that help maintain the skin as a physical barrier and leaves it prone to colonisation by potentially harmful bacteria that could cause infections.
