Everybody loves a good shower or bath. But what could take away from that quality experience, is showering in a stall or bathing in a tub that’s not too clean. While it might be easy to scrub off dirt, limescale is a whole other story.
What is limescale?
You know that hard and crusty chalky stuff that creeps up in your bathroom? You might often see it at the bottom of your kettle after some time. Technically it’s a calcium carbonate deposit and a residue left behind by hard water.
What is hard water?
It’s not hard because of water pressure. Rather, it’s just water that contains higher concentrations of minerals such as calcium and magnesium because the rainwater has passed through porous rocks such as chalk and limestone. There’s nothing wrong with this water, in fact in certain parts of the world hard water from mineral-rich springs is used for good health. Unfortunately when that water evaporates, the leaves behind some of this calcium carbonate which ends up accumulating into that nasty limescale build-up you now face.
Where can limescale build up?
Why, almost everywhere in your bathroom, really, in places you can see and can’t see. For example, some of the most common places include toilets, tiles, taps, sinks, shower stalls, shower heads and shower pipes, bath tubs, bathroom pipes… and the list goes on.
What’s wrong with limescale?
Well, other than the ugly mess it creates, if say your showerhead is clogged with limescale, you might notice your shower becoming less powerful. And let’s not think about how gross the shower screen would be. You’d just end up spending more money having to replace things sooner.
Ok, so how can I get rid of limescale?
In a kettle, it can be as easy as doing a full boil with some vinegar and lemon juice. The citric acid in it reacts with the limescale and dissolves it so that it pours away easily. But imagine getting into all your bathroom with a toothbrush and lemon juice!
