Really Bad Lime Buildup in Bathtub?

We moved into an older house that has really hard water. The lime buildup is horrible. After taking showers the tile and tub is completely white. I have tried scrubbing with Comet, pinesol, lime away, CLR, scubbing bubbles , SOS pads and nothing seems to work. I am tired of trying but I can't live with this nasty looking tub and tiles. Please any suggestions. I really need help. The bottom of the tub is really aweful.

Answer:

Hold it gently and pull away from the branch it is on. Once it is ripe it will come away easliy. HOWEVER Don't be dissapointed if the majority of it is peel pith, a lot of large limes are like this - which is why squeezing them isn't a good way of telling ripeness.
Sorry about this, 1, just 1 lime, ha ha ha ha ha ha haaa ha haa ha haaaaa. Right, that's out of the way, you need to gently squeeze it and it should be quite firm but have some give in it. The colour is, to a certain extent, irrelevant because it is dependant on the variety. However you could leave it on for a couple of day's and see if it changes at all. If there's no change then it is probably ready to pick. Hope the lime aid is good.
1 lime?!!!!! LOLOLOLOLOLOL Wait until IT becomes ripe.
just pick it now, juice it and make a margarita with it!
