How to Remove Hard Water Scum from Grout
Most Americans’ homes have hard water, which is water that is mineral-rich and has a ton of calcium and magnesium in it. The minerals in hard water can leave a scum on your grout and tiles. It looks gross. The scum can also foster bacteria growth. Over time, the soap scum can also darken and dull your grout.
