Product Information

So how do you remove limescale from a toilet? The good news is we have found an affordable natural powerhouse for you – white vinegar and borax (sodium borate). By pouring this simple mixture into a bottle you can rid your toilet of calcium build up. Viakal Limescale Remover is the perfect all-rounder and one of the strongest limescale removers around. It leaves shower screens sparkling and draining boards shiny and clear. You can spray it on taps and it helps built-up limescale to disappear.

You can achieve this by draining the water out of your toilet tank and disinfecting the inside of it with toilet cleaner or bleach spray, leaving it to soak for roughly 20 minutes. Remember to scrub the corners, crevices and walls of your toilet tank and drop a toilet cleaning tablet inside your tank to keep it clean and refreshed. Do this once a month and you will to finally be victorious over that irritating build-up of limescale. GHI TIP: Don’t use either of these methods on plated taps, particularly gold plated. The acid in vinegar ad lemon juice can damage their finish. Shower heads Uric salts, present in urine, as well as calcium/magnesium carbonates, are the primary cause of scaling. These depositions create a bad odour and may choke drains and traps. Hydra HDC-76 fixes these problems. CAUTION If limescale has already built up, soak a tea towel or cloth in the vinegar solution and wrap it around the tap, then leave for a couple of hours or overnight. You may need to gently work away any remaining residue with an old toothbrush. As an alternative for taps, or if you don’t like that vinegary smell, halve a lemon, squeeze out some juice, and put the half lemons on to the tap spouts. Then soak a cloth in the lemon juice and wrap around the rest of the tap. Always rinse well with plain water once cleaned.
