Step-by-Step Guide to Remove Limescale
1. Clean the Outside Surface
Make a Vinegar Solution: Mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a small bowl.
Wipe the Tap: Dip a soft cloth or sponge into the solution and wipe the surface of the tap to dissolve stains and remove grime.
2. Target the Spout and Nozzle
Wrap the Tap Spout: Fill a plastic bag with vinegar (enough to submerge the nozzle).
Secure It: Place the bag around the spout and secure it with an elastic band or string.
Let It Sit: Leave the bag in place for 5-10 minutes to dissolve limescale buildup.
3. Scrub Gently
Brush Away Residue: After removing the bag, use an old toothbrush to gently scrub the spout and nozzle to dislodge any remaining limescale or mineral deposits.
Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the tap with warm water to remove vinegar and loosened debris.
4. For Tough Spots
Use Baking Soda Paste: Mix baking soda with a few drops of water to create a paste.
Scrub the Stubborn Areas: Apply the paste to tough stains or buildup, scrub gently with the toothbrush, and rinse clean.
