Limescale remover hack
You will need:
- White vinegar
- Water
- Spray bottle
Method:
- If removing limescale from the dishwasher, we'd recommend filling a large mug with white vinegar, placing upright on the top level and running on a single cycle – without any other dishes.
- To tackle limescale in a washing machine, add white vinegar to the detergent draw and run on a single, hot cycle.
- It's also possible to fill your kettle with an even proportion of water to white vinegar in order to remove limescale. Leave to stand for 30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
- Take on the toilet by pouring white vinegar around the rim and leaving to work its magic overnight. Go at it with a toilet brush in the morning for super shiny results.
- Using white vinegar to remove limescale from a shower head takes a slightly different approach. Place an even white vinegar to water solution in a sealed plastic bag, place your shower head inside, secure with string and leave to soak for 30 minutes.
- Tackle tiles, baths and sinks with an even mix of water and white vinegar in a handy spray bottle and use as you might any other bathroom spray.
- Our advice for taps is to soak a towel in white vinegar, wrapping around a tap and ensuring it's completely covered. Leave for an hour, before rinsing.
