One of the things that can really age your bathroom fixtures is hard water stains. If you have hard water, then you probably are plagued with hard water stains which are caused by the minerals in the water.

You may also find them in your toilet around the ridge and in the bowl at the water level. So if you've had water stains, you also know how annoying and difficult they can be to get rid of and you've probably tried all sorts of cleaning tips and tricks to remove them from these areas.
