HOW TO REMOVE LIMESCALE FROM TAPS & BATHROOM FITTINGS
Limescale is the hard, off-white, chalky deposit found in kettles, irons, and hot-water boilers. It can also build up as a similar deposit in bathrooms, on taps, shower heads and other surfaces where “hard water” has evaporated. Limescale can look unsightly and be difficult to remove, but with a little patience and a few pantry staples you can achieve remarkable results!
Firstly, warm half a cup of white vinegar in a pan, do not allow it to boil. Then thoroughly soak a clean microfibre cloth in the warm liquid and carefully wrap the cloth tightly around the problem area. Leave for 4 to 5 hours or preferably overnight, re-apply more vinegar to the cloth when it begins to dry out.
After soaking, remove the cloth, and using an old toothbrush scrub away the limescale.
Finally dip half a lemon into a small bowl of bicarbonate of soda and give the fixtures a final scrub. Rinse off the residue with warm water and buff to a high shine with a glass microfibre cloth.
You may need to repeat the treatment on heavy built up areas.
