remove by soaking in undiluted vinegar° You can also
use a paste of non-precipitating water softener (such
as Calgon brand) and water, or one teaspoon of citric
acid powder per pint of hot tap water_ Soak until the
deposit disappears or becomes loose enough to rinse
away. Usually 30 minutes soaking time is adequate°

excessive, wipe it off but leave a thin film on the
gasket to help insure a proper hinge-side seal_ When
