[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 241481, member: 55"]Don't know about vases; but stubborn "lime stains" in bathtubs or sinks (actually mineral deposits, for example from a long-time dripping faucet): Cover with a scrap of cloth, soak in vinegar. Let sit for 12-24 hours. This softens the mineral deposit so that other cleaning methods which have previously failed can be used with success. I've spent hours scrubbing these with tub cleaner, with no result; after the vinegar soak, the tub cleaner takes them right off. So I suspect a soak in vinegar might make similar stains in vases a bit easier to remove.[/QUOTE]
