Limescale is a widespread issue particularly for households in areas with hard water — how can you prevent it?
Limescale, known scientifically as calcium carbonate, is a widespread issue particularly for households in areas with hard water. This mineral deposit accumulates on surfaces wherever hard water has evaporated.
Manifesting as a stubborn, chalky residue in hues of brown, yellow or even grey, limescale is notoriously difficult to scrub away from the surface of your toilet bowl. Other members of the group didn't waste time offering their tips and tricks in the comment section, with most suggesting the use of Harpic Power Plus as their go-to toilet cleaner.
She cautioned against using bleach stating, "If you use bleach, it will just bleach the colour out, but it doesn't remove the limescale, so the colour will come back after just a couple of days." For those searching for a more natural cleaning solution, citric acid was proposed as an alternative. Sandy Herring's testament followed: "I always use citric acid and my loos are sparkling and have been for years."
