Want to remove scale from your faucet?

Here is the cheapest (at €0.45 per litre) and most effective anti-limestone:white vinegar.
Here are the 2 methods to use it easily and clean your faucets:
To get rid of limescale on your taps, here's how to proceed:
1. Pour white vinegar on a sponge.
2. Rub vigorously with the sponge the place where there is limestone on the tap. If there is not too much limescale, the deposit should be removed quite easily.
It only takes a few minutes and a little elbow grease, but the result is there.
For places where the limestone is more stubborn and very encrusted, here is the method to overcome it:
1. Take a paper towel type Sopalin and pour a little white vinegar on it.
2. Place the wet Sopalin where there is limestone. As the paper is wet, it holds more easily.
3. Pour white vinegar again on the Sopalin so that it is well impregnated. It increases the effectiveness of the vinegar.
4. Then leave to rest for at least 1 hour. You have to give the white vinegar time to work. Then, lift the Sopalin to see if the limestone has really disappeared.
If not, leave the paper soaked overnight.
If there is still a little limescale in the recesses of the faucet, use a toothbrush soaked in white vinegar for an impeccable cleaning of the faucets.
There you go, you now know how to remove limescale with white vinegar.
