    I have had luck with pure white vinegar before. The calcifications just melt right off. You have to find a way to let the vinegar sit on the surface, though, for a little while.

    kaboom in the spray can will get anything off but I agree with Lisa. I would spray vinegar every day and it should start working

    Good ole elbow grease (with a soft nylon sponge) should do the trick.

    In terms of maintenance, to reduce the in-btw cleanings, can also leave a squeegee in the shower and make sure you use it after finishing.

    Vinegar's a mild acid, which dissolves the minerals that make up the water spots. Just use the white stuff (I use Heinz, which is a grain - not petroleum - distillate), and wipe off after a couple minutes.
