CLR for calcium build up works great

K · Answer

Vinegar and water.  Let it sit for about an hour or two and clean with a sponge.  Works great.

Capernius · Answer

as the above said use Vinegar. 
it is a natural product with no health risks to you or to the environment.
some say vinegar & water, but my experience has shown that vinegar works just fine(if not better) without the water.
pour it in or on, let it sit for about an hour, then try wiping it off, if you need a scraper, use a plastic one(a CHEAP plastic one) so you do not mar the finish

Capernius · Answer

I use vinegar to clean EVERYTHING in & around the house...
even the toilet.
to clean the toilet, spray all surfaces you can reach, then let sit for about 20 minutes, then scrub as usual. follow that with 1 or 2 denture tabs in the tank. you done!

Vinegar  the best

Cepontzsons · Answer

pressure washing and stiff bristle brush should do the trick.  Pavers can be sealed to help prevent this issue.

I agree, CLR is the best product I've found so far to remove calcium.

Redcatcec · Answer

Soak it in plain white vinegar, it will dissolve the deposits. Try that for several hours or until the deposits are gone.

Kathy Gunter Law · Answer

Diluted vinegar or clr then rinse with distilled water

Adrienne Carrie Hubbard | Crafty Little Gnome · Answer

A white vinegar and water combo is one frequently suggested do-it-yourself remedy. Acetic acid, which is present in vinegar, aids in the dissolution and breakdown of calcium deposits. After applying this combination to the afflicted regions and letting it stay for a while, you can scrub it off with a gentle brush.
