grandmother's recipe

furring, encrustation, scale - Deposits of the minerals from hard water when it is heated or when the pressure drops. It occurs in boilers and pipes, at hot-water taps, shower heads and sprayers, in cooking pans, hot-water jugs, etc. IT DISSOLVES IN VINEGAR.
[Scott/Penguin Dict. of Building]

Forget the special cleaning product. Recycle your pickling vinegar!
