What Can You Do About Limescale In Your Bathroom?

• Limescale is a huge problem for many homeowners,
  causing problems when it fills pipes, reduces
  water pressure or makes shower doors cloudy.
  Coming from water that contains a high
  concentration of calcium and magnesium, otherwise
  known as hard water, limescale is common, but
  relatively easy to minimize
• Good old vinegar
• As vinegar is acidic, it can effectively cut
  through limescale and keep the fixtures and
  fittings in a bathroom looking as shiny as new.
  Use it neat on faucets and other fittings to help
  keep limescale at bay and prevent staining. If
  you have fixtures that can be removed, then place
  them in a big bucket filled with vinegar and
  leave them there for an hour. Once the hour is
  up, take them out and use a toothbrush to gently
  scrub away any remaining limescale.

• If your shower door is affected with limescale,
  you could try soaking a paper towel in vinegar
  and draping it over the worst areas. As with the
  fixtures and fittings, leave the vinegar to soak
  in for up to an hour, then use a toothbrush to
  scrub away any remaining mineral deposits.
• To help prevent limescale from getting the chance
  to build up on your shower door, spray it
  liberally with vinegar after every use and wipe
  it down.
• Buy a water softener
• Vinegar is fantastic as a cleaning product in
  bathrooms affected by limescale, but its not
  able to flush the limescale out of pipes, and
  over time, mineral deposits will fill them and
  cause them to become clogged and reduce the water
  pressure.

• If you live in a hard water area, this may be a
  permanent issue.
• One way of minimizing the effects of hard water,
  is to buy a water softener appliance, that works
  by replacing calcium and magnesium with sodium.
  Softened water is flushed through a homes pipes
  via a water softener tank, that must be regularly
  refilled with salt.
• Buy an electronic de-scaler
• These de-scalers work by softening water and
  removing hard water deposits from the inside of
  pipes, and needing no maintenance or salt to be
  added, they can continue to work effectively for
  many years.

• If your bathroom is blighted with limescale and
  looks unsightly, getting rid of it all could take
  many hours of your valuable time, not to mention
  a whole lot of elbow grease! Wouldnt it be
  simpler to hire a professional to come in and get
  it all looking clean and as good as new, for you?
  Ditch the gloves and eye watering vinegar, and
  let someone else do the hard work for you.
