vinegar

Thanks to my new colleague, I found a wonderfully easy solution to clean calcium build-up on my hot water heater. The water here is very high in calcium, and so many things get a calcium build up on them very quickly. The coils in my hot water heater are not very easy to scrub clean (due to their shape) and I have never been able to keep it very clean. Now I have a solution - white vinegar. Just pour it on and let it sit. Then a quick swipe of the sponge and whala - shiny and clean. I was very impressed. Due to the amazing ease of this solution I thought I would share this with anyone else who might have this problem.
