Acrylic is a common building material used in shower areas. When water with a high mineral content splashes onto the surrounding acrylic surface, you must use something to remove the buildup.

A homemade cleaning solution with a minimal acidic content will safely remove all the hard water stains without harming the acrylic surface in any way.
