What is the white stuff around my kitchen sink!?

My sink never stays clean! When I wipe it down, it looks clean but when it dries it has this white stuff around the faucet and on the countertop around itit kind of looks like powder or baking sodaI have tried soap and water and vinegar and it won't go awayAny idea what it is?

Answer:

If you have a crockpot you can layer the ribs in the pot with your BBQ sauce and let cook on high for 6-8 hours or until doneI usually add a little honey or maple syrup to the bbq sauce I use and yum.
Sounds like hard water depositsTry using steel wool or an S.O.Spad, if they still make themOne time I got rid of the deposits by using wadded up aluminum foilIf you go the foil route, make sure your fixtures are not made of plastic or they'll be scratched I only tried the foil method because I once read that foil was great for polishing chrome(Turned out to be true.) :) Good luck!
Ingredients 3 pounds baby back pork ribs 1 cup barbeque sauce 1 tbsp chili powder 1 tbsp ground cumin 1 tbsp paprika salt and pepper, to taste Directions Preheat grill at high heatMix together chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper in a small jarPlace on the lid, and shake to mix wellRemove the membrane sheath from the back of every rack of ribsSlide a small, sharp knife between the membrane and each rib, to remove as much of the membrane as possibleDrizzle as much rub as you desire onto both sides of the ribsTo prevent them from becoming too spicy and dark, don’t rub the spices into the ribs completelyStore the remaining portion of the spice mix for later usePut some aluminum foil on the lower rack to catch the drippings and avoid flare-upsOil the grate, lightly, and place ribs on the top rackReduce the heat to low, and leave alone with the lid closed for 1 hour(Do not lift the lid at all during that time.) Brush with barbecue sauce, and grill 5 minutes moreServe the ribs as whole rack, or cut between each bone and pile separately on a platter.
