We have hard water, and hard water buildup around the faucets. Elbow grease is not going to get rid of it. If and when I actually get my shiny sink, I'm going to have to hire a plumber as well, because the faucets leak around the bottom, so the hard water buildup is going to keep coming back.

This is my problem, too! I was going to report that I am a failure and stuck at day 1...glad to hear someone else has a hard water problem. I don't even own SOS pads, and I don't know what instrument to use to get the rock hard build up off from edges. I'm still trying though. The sink part looks great, but the faucet edges are still yuck. I guess I will stick with day 1 til I get it!

White vinegar is your best friend for hard water build up! Squirt it on and let soak while cleaning the counter tops or scrubbing the sink. Wipe & repeat until you get it all off. After that, a weekly squirt & wipe will keep it from building up. If you use the white vinegar to daily shine your sink, then it will keep the faucets sparkling. It's also great for cleaning glass.

Edited to add: white vinegar is great for all kinds of science experiments. Make Entice the kids into experimenting with dissolving calcium buildup on the sink with the vinegar!
