Scale is a real pain.
No matter how hard you rub, it doesn't go away.
I spent a veritable fortune on limescale removers and descalers so I wouldn't have to scrub for hours.
But my grandma advised me to replace all these detergents with 2 natural products and not expensive at all:white vinegar and lemon.
Instead of spending my money on chemical and expensive descalers, I use these 2 powerful natural products. This way, I save money and protect the environment.
At less than €0.70 for a 70 cl bottle, white vinegar is the powerful product against limescale and economical to have at home. It is used in toilet bowls, sinks, shower trays and walls. Even on the taps.
For the toilets: using the toilet brush, I push the water into the bottom of the drain so as to drive it out and free up some space. Once I have reduced the volume of water in my bowl, I fill it with the white vinegar.
I let it sit overnight. The next morning, I just have to rub vigorously and the tartar goes away! What a pleasure to find the white of the enamel of my WC!
Result:the toilets are like new and they shine!
White vinegar is the best limescale remover I know.
And as you have seen, no need for a complicated recipe to make your own anti-limestone. It's simple and cheap.
I spent a maximum of €0.70 emptying my bottle of white vinegar into my bowl, compared to €2.30 for an "organic" descaler.
If I have a septic tank, I haven't dumped horrible chemicals that harm the health of helpful bacteria.
This trick is suitable for those who can't stand the smell of vinegar, but especially for smaller surfaces that require descaling.
I use it for my faucets, the earthenware above the sink, or my stainless steel sink in my kitchen. Using it for large areas is expensive, considering the amount of juice that needs to be extracted.
For faucets: I cut a lemon in half. Then, I use it as a sponge rubbing the pulp side on my cocks. I let it sit for a few minutes, then I rinse with clear water and dry.
To recover the grid of my water saver and the turn of the end of the tap, I just hang my half-lemon around the end of the tap. To make it hold, I squeeze on one side and hold the piece of lemon in "rab" with a clothespin.
I leave it on all night, and the next day, a single wipe with a sponge is enough to remove all the limescale and even the verdigris and mold that had settled around the faucet.
Result:the grid of my water saver is clean and the water flows smoothly because it is no longer clogged with limestone. My faucets shine like new!
I don't spend more than €1 on my lemons when I should have spent €7.80 on an eco-friendly bathroom cleaner.
In addition, without my little trick with the lemon, you have to dismantle the aerator filter, soak in a descaler or even change it completely.
