This is caused by the<strong> high amount of minerals contained in water<\/strong>. Once it evaporates, it leaves behind white and green residues of calcium and magnesium. Over time, these deposits harden and become difficult to remove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is true that there are products to remove stains and limescale deposits, but <strong>these products have components that can be toxic and cause skin reactions<\/strong>. It is best to use natural products that we have in our home. In this way we will not run risks with toxicity and at the same time we will not have large expenses to leave the bathroom as new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Below I am going to tell you how to remove stains and limescale build-up with vinegar. <strong>This is more than just a salad dressing<\/strong>, and it has multiple uses in household cleaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/elmundopositivo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Bath-4-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12565\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Before vinegar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I suggest you run hot water from the shower and close the bathroom door for about ten minutes. This will create <strong>a steamy atmosphere that will soften the dirt and make your job easier.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>If you have a handheld shower, you can use it to spray the tiles<\/strong>, and with a cloth rub gently. This should already loosen and remove stains and dirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/elmundopositivo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Bath-3-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12566\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Apply vinegar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a spray bottle or spray bottle, <strong>mix half alcohol vinegar and half water<\/strong>. Apply the solution to the tiles, joints and leave it for about half an hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After some time, use a white-bristled brush to scrub the tiles and joints. <strong>Do not use pumice stones or metal brushes.<\/strong> When you&#8217;re done, turn the hot shower back on and rinse the tiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/elmundopositivo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Bath-2-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12567\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clean Up Tartar Buildup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Getting rid of limescale and scale from the bathroom is not only good for keeping the bathroom looking good, free of those white and green stains, but it also <strong>helps to prevent limescale from clogging the shower.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Soak a rag with vinegar and wrap it around the faucet and faucet<\/strong>. Leave it there for an hour. Then clean with water. If you want to enhance the effect of vinegar, mix it with lemon juice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/elmundopositivo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Bath-1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12568\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to prevent tartar formation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The best solution is to prevent tartar from building up and hardening.<\/strong> Here are some suggestions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Clean regularly.<\/strong> If you do this, you will not have stains, limescale and it will improve the performance of the faucet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Keep things dry as much as possible.<\/strong> Obviously it is not feasible to be drying everything, all the time, but with a wipe after each use, it will considerably reduce stains and tartar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use a soap that leaves less residue in the shower. <strong>You can opt for liquid soap, <\/strong>which leaves no traces.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ventilate the bathroom. Open the door and window as long as you can, especially after a shower. <strong>If your bathroom has poor ventilation, use a fan<\/strong> from the door inwards for a while.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It may seem like a lot of work, but <strong>with these tips it will be very easy to keep your bathroom clean of stains and tartar<\/strong>, with shiny tiles and faucets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Depending on the type of water in your area, you may have stains on the tiles and problems with scale build-up on your faucets, especially in the shower.
