3. Remove Hard Water Spots and Tough Soap Scum. I used this trick just today, and it worked like a charm! I poured some baking soda on a cleaning pad and then poured a little vinegar on top. I scrubbed away at those soap scum stains I’ve been trying to get off FOREVER, and they came off like magic! It worked in the sink too!
