Asked by Rick See - Sat Apr 7 00:19:19 2007 - - 15 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Try vinegar and baking soda if the salt and lemon juice doesn't work. I've had to do the vinegar and baking soda routine (boiling for about five minutes) and then fine steel wool to remove the rest. Then boil again with a small amount of vinegar or lemon juice to clean the pot out from left over debris.

Anyone have a good way to remove calcium and mineral deposits from a brass faucet?
Q. I have a brass faucet in my bathroom that I will eventually have replaced, but right now its caked with calcium and minerals from the hard water. I bought some "Brasso" and it didn't work and a lot of the Lime Away-type products say not to use on brass fixtures. Anyone have a suggestion?

A. Try two things. 1st try using the hard end of a new sponge, add ajax or bon-ami to it, then drench it with toilet bowl cleaner, and scrub until gone, then rinse and shine with windex. If that doesn't work, Try using "Bar Keepers Friend" and follow directions. One of these will work, but.. I am sure the 1st one will, if done properly. I've used it in countless homes and it works!

A. Also quite effective and less smelly than vinegar is citric acid. You can buy it at the drugstore. Just dissolve it in water (maybe two big spoons full in 0.5 litres), and soak your filter with it. Even more effective when warm.

Should calcium deposits in the breast be removed to prevent cancer?
Q. My stepmom is having a surgical biopsy on Monday AND having some calcium deposits removed because her Doctor said it is common now to have them removed to prevent cancer. I never heard of this and also think she could have a stereotactic biopsy done. It all sounds too aggressive to me, based only on calcium deposits. He mentioned that they were "sharp and pointy" looking.

This is a complex Q which I will try to give a simple answer, Macrocalcification-macro means large dots or dashes on mammogram are non cancerous Micro calcification-micro means small dots on mammogram MAY indicate a malignancy but usually don't. The calcium deposits do not cause breast cancer but is an indication that it maybe a breast cancer and that is the reason for the biopsy . Most breast lump generally speaking should be biopsied to confirm diagnosis-better to be safe There are also numerous non cancerous causes of breast calcification

Can you remove a calcium deposit under a dog's chin?

The vet from the store said it is a calcium deposit and if it gets bigger it would lock up her jaw and I would have to put her down. He also said that there is nothing to do for it. I don't understand why this could not be treated. The thought of this is devestating to me. Please help ease my mind. Can this growth be removed???

Take her to a vet office and worse case scenario she will have you for her final days. Someone to pet and love her and allowed her to love you in her final days. Anything you do will be better than hanging out in a petstore for someone who doesn't care to take her and possibly do horrible things.

It's a white grainy substance that you add to water, and it has a sugar-like consistancy. It's fairly cheap, too. It only would take about a teaspoon to clean the shower head, and a 3 lb. bag of it cost about $30 US.
