: Mike,

: I'd start out by trying warm water first.

: You might have luck with the vinegar. Or rub a bit of lemon on one of the
: spots, that might work too, and be a little less harsh than the vinegar.

: The plumbing dept of your local hardware should have something to remove
: mineral deposits from shower roses and other plumbing fixtures, this will
: work, though i'm not sure of it's effect on your varnish, should be ok.

: Your local camping store should have hard water soap, this may work too.

: Julie's given some good sugestions too.

: Whichever way you decide to go, make sure you try it out on a test piece
: first!

: Cheers,

: Paul.

More good ideas! And in addition to testing-- for anything that sounds scary, you can try diluting it a bit with water first.

Do let us know what works! Good luck!
