Removing old limescale: Housekeeping tips

Sometimes you face lime scales so old and terrifying that you lose all hope - no way you can possibly clean them!

You should believe in yourself more, though - because there is always something that you can do to fix the problem.

Here are a few methods that can help you get rid of old and extremely stubborn limescale in your bathroom.

Vinegar is your best solution

Get some white vinegar (the kind you use for cooking) and mix it with an equal amount of water. This makes a solution.

Soaking helps a lot

Soak a cloth or paper towel in the vinegar solution. 

Then, wrap the cloth around the limescale-covered area, like a faucet or showerhead. Leave it on for an hour or so.

It's time to scrub it

After soaking, use an old toothbrush or a scrubbing sponge to gently scrub away the limescale. It should come off more easily now.

Now just rinse it

Rinse the area with clean water to get rid of the vinegar smell and any remaining limescale.

You can do it a few times in a row

For a really stubborn limescale, you might need to repeat the process a few times until it's all gone.

Conclusion

It's always easier to prevent livescale than to get rid of it, but even when it's already there, you still can get rid of it.

Don't panic, be persistent and patient, and your bathroom will become clean and nice again!
