Effective household remedies against limescale deposits

Limescale deposits can quickly become an unsightly and stubborn problem in the home.
Particularly in regions with hard water, the white residue tends to build up in toilets, on taps or on shower heads.
But don’t worry, you don’t always have to resort to aggressive chemical cleaners.
Simple household remedies, which can be found in almost every kitchen, often help to remove limescale effectively.

The most popular and effective household remedies for limescale

• Vinegar essence: If you have never used vinegar for descaling, you should do so as soon as possible.
  Most people have this household remedy in their kitchen anyway, so it is always available and cleans with natural acetic acid.
  However, vinegar essence is the better choice for particularly thick layers of limescale, as its acidity of 25 percent is higher than that of vinegar, which has an acidity of 5 percent.
  Simply apply a few tablespoons to the deposit and leave to work.
  Once you have finished with the toilet bowl, you can also use vinegar to descale the shower head or the aerator on the tap.
• Citric acid: This household remedy will win you over with its fresh citrus scent.
  Dissolve two to three tablespoons of citric acid in powder form in one liter of water – and the descaling mixture is ready.
• Cola: This soft drink is a real insider tip for dirty toilets.
  Cola contains phosphoric acid, which also dissolves limescale well.
  It is best to use stale cola so as not to waste any food.
  Mix half a liter of cola with two packets of baking soda, pour the mixture onto the limescale deposits and leave it to work overnight.
• Hydrochloric acid: 30% hydrochloric acid is excellent for particularly stubborn limescale deposits.
  One tablespoon is enough to tackle limescale.
  But be careful, the agent is extremely corrosive, which is why you should always wear protective goggles and gloves.
  The acid should also not come into contact with metal, as this can produce hydrogen gas.
• Baking soda: Pure baking soda is an excellent descaler for the toilet, especially in combination with acetic acid.
  Moisten the limescale deposits with two cups of vinegar essence, then sprinkle three tablespoons of baking soda on the stain and massage the mixture in with the toilet brush.

The household remedies described are simple and effective solutions for removing limescale deposits in your household.
