I have a lot of chrome fixtures in my house and have been looking for a good DIY chrome cleaner. I fiddled with a few recipes and this one does the trick. I use it all the time now. It requires only 3 ingredients and works like a champ. I’m never going back to the store bought stuff!
Ingredients
2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon Dr. Bronner’s Castile Soap
3 tablespoons white vinegar
Directions
Combine all ingredients into a large spray bottle a shake well.
To Use
Spray onto chrome surface and let sit for about 10 minutes. Wipe off with a damp cloth and then buff with a dry cloth.

Looking at your pictures, even GFI, you are allowed to have an outlet THAT close to a faucet? Wouldn’t pass code on the east coast for sure!

I am in California, and a few years ago I bought a house with a newly-remodeled bathroom (sadly, not to my taste, ugh) and it has an outlet right behind the faucet like this. Crazy! I guess it meets code though (in fact it’s probably required by code to have an outlet right by the sink so that people don’t have cords stretched across the bathroom for their electric toothbrush, razor, whatever.
I don’t use it at all except when I’m vacuuming, and the idea of water splashing onto it makes me nervous (even though as you say it is a GFCI outlet), so I hung a little slate painting over the outlet.

Do you know why every time I try to go to your website it says, undergoing maintenance…… It takes several tries before I can get to your site.

Hmmm. Have you tried deleting your browser cache? I think that might help Mary Ann. Please let me know.

I love Dr. Bronner’s Peppermint Castile Soap!
People seriously have time to shine their faucets?!?! If I actually find enough time…I’m going to try this, but quick question…does this concoction help repel future water marks or is it just to clean what is currently on it? I have four kids…and a very messy husband…if this only removes the existing water marks, I’d be doing it like 20 times a day!
BTW…TOTALLY LOVE YOU AND YOUR BLOG MAVIS!!!!!!
