For a More Pleasant Scent: Add a few drops of essential oils (such as lavender or lemon) to your vinegar solution to make the cleaning process more enjoyable.
Alternative Cleaning Agents: If you prefer not to use vinegar, you can use commercial hard water stain removers, but always follow the manufacturer's instructions for use.
