Limescale deposits around kitchen and bathroom faucets are a common problem, especially if you have hard water rich in calcium. Even though we try to keep faucets and sinks clean, limescale still appears over time. Fortunately, there is a simple and effective home trick to get rid of these unwanted deposits without using expensive chemical cleaners.
What you’ll need:
- A bottle of vinegar
- A small piece of cotton cloth or a rag
Procedure:
-
Preparation: Fill a bowl with vinegar. Vinegar is a natural cleaner that effectively breaks down limescale deposits.
-
Soaking the cloth: Soak the cotton cloth in vinegar for a few minutes so that it is well saturated.
-
Application: Wrap the cloth around the faucet without twisting it, and make sure it fits snugly. Leave the cloth in place for at least an hour, avoiding use of the faucet.
-
Cleaning: After an hour remove the cloth and thoroughly wipe the entire area with a sponge to remove the dissolved limescale. Repeat the process if necessary until the faucet is completely clean and shiny.
Why does vinegar work?
Vinegar is an excellent natural cleaner that can dissolve limescale deposits thanks to its acidity. It is cheap, effective and does not contain harmful chemicals that can damage surfaces or your skin.
Safety tips:
