Hard water is a term that means the water has lots of minerals - hard water stains are solid deposits of those minerals left behind when the water evaporates. The water initially dissolved those minerals because it was acidic - a weak acid such as lemon juice or vinegar is usually pretty good at removing these stains; or a scrubbing paste made of baking soda and water.

How do you clean hard water stains off shower grout?
Ugh.. now here's a real pain in the neck problem. The best thing I've found is to soak old towels in pure vinegar and lay them on the tiles over night, then scrub the next day. The acid in the vinegar will break down the minerals so they can be scrubbed off. The towels keep the vinegar from drying up before it has a chance to do it's job. The biggest problem here is that the hard water stains will just keep coming back, unless you find a way to prevent them. A water softener will help some, but it won't fix the problem. I clean houses for a living and have a customer who has good success with a shower spray product made by Arm & Hammer called "Clean Shower Daily Shower Cleaner." You just spray it on when you are done showering and it keeps the shower looking good. My Grandmother had a well when I was a kid and she kept her shower from getting hard water stains by wiping it out with a tile every time she got out of the shower.

How do you clean around shower doors?
To clean around a shower door, the best cleaner is one that will cut through hard water film and soap scum. A few drops of a grease-cutting dishwashing liquid mixed in a sink full of hot water is a very effective solution. Soak and wring out microfiber cloths to clean the door. An old toothbrush will clean cracks and crevices. Rinse the door and wipe the frame of the door with clean cloths to finish up and prevent water spots. To clean the track in older double shower doors, pour hydrogen peroxide in the track on both sides and let it work. The residue can be sprayed out with a detachable shower head (place folded towels on the floor first), or wiped clean with wet, wrung out microfiber towels.
