This fruit will revolutionize your cleaning routine and remove all traces of limescale in the blink of an eye.
There’s nothing more frustrating than seeing unsightly limescale stains on your faucets, especially when the rest of your kitchen or bathroom is sparkling clean. This directly gives an unkempt appearance. And yet, these dull white spots are not dirt. They are the result of hard, mineral-rich water, and removing them can sometimes seem like a daunting task, especially if you let them hang around.
Fortunately, there is a simple trick that everyone can use to remove hard water stains from your faucets. It only costs a few cents. All you need is half a lemon to have your faucets looking brand new and sparkling in no time.
Lemon is renowned for its natural acidic properties. The citric acid it contains is a powerful cleaning agent that can dissolve limescale and remove marks effortlessly. By using lemon, you avoid harsh chemicals often found in commercial cleaners, making it a healthier solution for you and the environment.
The method is very simple. Take a fresh lemon and cut it in half. Rub half the lemon directly on the scaled surfaces of your taps. Make sure to cover all areas affected by limescale. For hard-to-reach areas, squeeze the juice onto a used toothbrush and scrub.
Leave the citric acid in the lemon to act for about 10 to 15 minutes. For more stubborn limescale deposits, you can leave it on for longer. Then rinse the taps with clean water to remove any residue of lemon and dissolved limescale. Dry with a soft cloth to avoid new water spots. In addition to removing stains, it will make your bathroom and kitchen smell fresh.
If some limescale deposits persist, you can create a paste by mixing baking soda with lemon juice. Apply this paste to the stains and leave to act before rubbing and rinsing.
