use vinegar to loosen the calcium and scrape with blades. Mask fixtures so vinegar does not damage the fixtures.  Do not try this on marble. but fine for granite.

Stuart,

I carefully use a flat razor blade to remove the heavy buildup on the counter & a small nylon brush to remove it from the fixture. Then I use products such as MB-3, MB-26, or Stone Scrub to remove the remaining residue from the counter and fixtures.
