"It comes in handy if you need to get rid of
lime deposits on your granite counters. Place
a vinegar-soaked paper towel on the lime
deposit for about 10 minutes. After you
remove it, use a single-bladed razor to scrape
the deposit off of the granite."

peroxide is the best way to get rid of it. Combine the
hydrogen peroxide with water and use a soft-

spots. Then use a dry cloth to wipe over the area."
