I've been searching the internet and all places to find out how to get rid of the water stains in my bath, all the tile is with these little stains that I do not know how to clean it, I usually use the soft scrub from clorox but it seems not to work well, I have a problem with the glass too, it is part of glass and part of tile.... any suggestions??? thanks

Any sort of cleaner that removes lime or calcium will take care of water spots. Just make sure that it is safe for all of the surfaces that it will come in contact with. The next trick will be to put a coating on it to prevent the water from causing spots. A product such as rain-x or car wax will help the water roll right off. And again, make sure that products like these are appropriate for the surface they will be going on. A water filtration system of some sorts might help prevent this problem not only in the bath, but in other areas of the home as well. Just a thought.

A Mr. Clean Magic Eraser dipped in white vinegar is great for removing water spots!

Water treatment or if you have old iron pipes then replacing the pipes is the best choise.
Any cleaning product or magic wands will clean it but why not prevent it in the first place.
Any water company or local real plumbing store can test the water for you.

or you can take a water sample to the health department.
but he is correct, calcium deposits or build up
come from 2 sources..old piping and the
minerals that are in your water. it is most common in hard water areas, a water softner will help bunchs. or a filter on the incoming water line. that is what i did at my place
3 filters. i change the 1st every other month
the 2nd everey 4 mths and the 3rd 6 mths
it must be doing some good, i never have changed my frig filter
