Say goodbye to chalky build-up with these simple tips
Limescale is one of those little annoyances that can make even the cleanest bathroom or kitchen look tired. It shows up as white, chalky residue on taps, shower screens, tiles, and around sinks—especially in hard water areas. If left untreated, it can build up fast and become harder to remove over time.
But don’t worry—with a bit of regular care and the right products, you can keep limescale at bay and your home looking fresh.
Quick Tips to Prevent Limescale Buildup
Use Limescale Sprays a Few Times a Week
Products like Viakal, dedicated vinegar sprays, or other anti-limescale cleaners are your first line of defence. A quick sprits a couple of times a week on vulnerable areas can help break down early deposits before they become a problem.
Wipe or Squeegee After Each Use
After using your shower, bath, or sink, give the area a quick dry down with a microfiber cloth or a shower squeegee. Removing the water straight away stops limescale from forming in the first place.
Deep Clean Every 6 Weeks
Every 4–6 weeks, do a full deep clean of your bathroom and kitchen fixtures using a mix of white vinegar and bicarbonate of soda. This natural combo helps dissolve stubborn limescale and keeps things sparkling.
Scrub (Carefully) When Needed
For tougher limescale, a scouring pad or steel wire sponge can help—but be gentle! Avoid using anything too abrasive on taps, shower heads, or chrome fixtures, as they can scratch easily. Stick to gentler pads for metal surfaces.
Don’t Forget the Shower Screens
The outside of your glass shower screens can get cloudy too. Use a window or glass cleaner weekly to keep them crystal clear.
