Cleaning with Cream of Tartar

Always test a small patch of surface first to see whether it is or is not acid resistant and how it will react to a tiny bit of cream of tartar mixed with 3 percent hydrogen peroxide.
  OK now it's time to think about how to clean hard water mineral deposits and stains with foods. cream of tartar is a milder acid than vinegar and is used to remove hard water mineral
Your first step is to mix a bucket with equal amounts of white vinegar and baking soda--before you make your cream of tartar and hydrogen peroxide mix. The ingredients will neutralize each other, fizzing and then forming a paste. As the alkali, baking soda neutralizes the acid in the white vinegar, the action also dissolves soap scum and hard water marks. Leave the paste on for an hour and rinse.
Your second step is now to mix equal parts of cream of tartarand three percent hydrogen peroxide diluted with an equal part of water to form a paste to use as a rust remover. Leave that paste on for an hour and then rinse.
