Posted Mon Jan 2, 2012, 5:54pm Subject: Vinegar not working to clean off white spots from Easy Off
Sorry if I'm posting incorrectly again. I tried vinegar to get the white spots off from the Easy Off on the base of the Technivorm and the plastic lid on the water tank and it didn't work. I know Craig said to try Mequire's Body Scrub that they use on automobile's I think. I have to see if they have that around here somewhere.
In the meantime any other ideas? I can't stand to live with this. I take such good care of it and someone carelessly did this and I hope there is something that will take it off.

I tried these two products to clean the white spots off the chrome base of the Technivorm and neither is working. The only other suggestion was the Mequire's Body Scrub which I need to pick up. Any other thoughts? I see both lids also have the white spots all over them. I called IDrink Coffee to see if they could order replacement lids but it's been over a week and haven't heard back yet. I thought if I could order them in Canada it would be cheaper.

My suspicion is that the chemicals in Easy Off created a reaction that changed the composition of the metal -- chemical corrosion. Those spots may not come off. Good luck.
