Limescale forms naturally in even the cleanest homes. But here’s a way to clean your faucets and make them look new again.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Limestone<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

House taps usually have incrustations and this depends on the limescale that is present in the water<\/strong>. In fact, limescale is not related to the state of cleanliness, but depends on where you live. In fact, there are more calcareous areas and less calcareous areas. And if there are any in your home, here is a remedy that can help you make the faucets work as if they were new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Water has certain amounts of calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate. And depending on the presence of these, it can be soft water, therefore without limescale, or hard water, or with lime. When the water is hard, the water that remains evaporates, releasing carbon dioxide that accumulates in calcium carbonate deposits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this reason, household chores and cleaning in general should not be seen as something that needs to be done quickly. You can’t do anything with limescale, even if you clean it every day it will come<\/strong>. To beat it, you don’t need to go to the supermarket to buy chemical detergents, since you can then eliminate it with natural ingredients and in addition to saving money, you will also help the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s how to clean faucets with limescale<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To have a clean, shiny and limescale-free faucet you don’t need baking soda as you might think. In fact, combined with vinegar and hot water, baking soda is very effective. But many people do not like the strong smell of vinegar and that is why there are other methods and here we propose an alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Vodka\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You would never imagine that vodka is a remedy against limescale. <\/strong>Simply dampen a soft cloth with vodka and leave it rolled around the tap. Leave it there for at least an hour and then simply rinse and dry with a dry cloth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other remedies to remove limescale<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Let’s also see how to remove limescale with more traditional methods, this is what you will need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Vinegar<\/strong> \u2013 In addition to being useful in many household chores, it also helps to remove limescale. Simply pour it into a bowl of water and then take a soft sponge and with its help distribute it to the affected areas. Leave on for 5 minutes and rinse with warm water. However, if you need to clean grills or showerheads, leave them submerged in the sink overnight. Vinegar is also excellent for removing today’s limescale such as the iron and the washing machine and it will be enough to put it in the tank or drum and let it reach high temperatures or start a wash around 60\u00b0.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Baking soda<\/strong>: can be used alone or together with lemon. In the bathroom, for example, you can use it alone and simply place it on the walls of the toilet and leave it on overnight. The next morning simply scrub with the brush and rinse. For the sink, however, it will look best if combined with lemon, simply rub the lemon and then pour the baking soda on top, leave it on and then rinse.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Citric acid<\/strong>: simply dissolve it in water and apply it to the areas to be treated with a sponge. Leave on for a few minutes and then rub, rinse and dry. However, be careful not to use them on surfaces such as marble and wood.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Tomatoes or cucumbers<\/strong>: just cut one of these two vegetables in half and rub it on the lime-crusted area. Leave on for a few minutes and then rinse. The acidity of the tomato and cucumber will act.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
