Limescale is one of the most common problems for much of the UK. It can pile up quickly and not only be unsightly but cause issues with faucets, showers etc. One helpful, inexpensive and eco-friendly option to ridding yourself of limescale build-up and helping to prevent it, is using lemon juice and vinegar. Here are a few tips to how to use it:
• Lemon juice and vinegar, combined in equal parts, can be used in many areas. You could use a clean spray bottle to create the mixture and then apply and leave to sit at least an hour, or overnight, if you prefer, then scrub away.
• The lemon juice and vinegar solution can be sprayed regularly on tiles, basins and taps as a limescale preventative. (Do not use solution on plated taps, such as gold and it can damage the finish)
• For kettles simply add half vinegar and half water and leave to sit overnight and scrub away the following morning.
• For dishwasher and washing machines, add a large cup of vinegar and a large cup of lemon juice into an empty machine and run a normal cycle.
