The time required for white vinegar to dissolve hard water deposits depends entirely on the thickness of the mineral buildup. For light soap scum and fresh water spots on chrome fixtures, a quick wipe with a vinegar-soaked cloth takes only 5 to 10 minutes. However, for thick, crusty calcium scale or hard water rings around showerheads and faucets, you should allow vinegar to soak continuously for 30 to 60 minutes, or submerge the fixture overnight in a bag filled with vinegar for best results. Verification: Check if the crusty white mineral deposits wipe away easily with a sponge after soaking.
