Seriously, it's driving me nuts how quickly my faucets start looking nasty and corroded. I've tried scrubbing, vinegar, even some random hacks from YouTube, but nothing really works long-term. Anyone else dealing with this annoying issue?
I've been dealing with something similar since moving into my first place. Honestly, I thought it was just me being lazy about cleaning at first, but even after scrubbing like crazy, the corrosion comes back way too fast. Makes me wonder if it's less about cleaning methods and more about water quality or faucet materials? Like, could hard water be the real culprit here? I've heard installing a water softener helps, but I'm skeptical—seems like an expensive fix for something that might not even work long-term. Has anyone tried changing out their faucets entirely for a different material or finish? Curious if that made any noticeable difference...
- Hard water definitely speeds up corrosion, but honestly, swapping faucets might not solve it completely.
- Seen people switch to stainless or brushed nickel—helps a bit, but doesn't totally fix it.
- Water softeners do work...but yeah, pricey and maintenance-heavy. Tough call.
