    Rinse your item clean. Don't leave vinegar sitting on the product's surface. Use a bucket of water or a rag wet with water to thoroughly rinse the brushed nickel. Buff dry with a soft cloth to avoid water stains.

    How can I clean spots on a tarnished, brushed nickel mirror frame?
    Community Answer
    Use a soft cloth, wet or dry, and some elbow grease. If that doesn't work, use a 50/50 vinegar and water mixture. Wipe down the frame with the solution using cotton wool or a toothbrush. Rinse the frame clean and buff dry.

    I used undiluted white vinegar to take off hard water deposits. Left it to soak for many hours. Now there is a mark that looks like the electrical tape I used to put the bag of vinegar on with. I know it is not just tape residue, most likely it is due to the vinegar. Is there a way to restore the finish?
