Can you recommend me bathroom cleaner that works well in a very hard water area?

[wonderstuff]

I seem to spend ages scrubbing and yet water marks refuse to shift

Salt works really well here. Then use mix of washing up liquid and vinegar if have any around for quick clean every few days.

Distilled malt vinegar!

What are you trying to get marks off?

I am battleing with ceramic basin and bath, and toilet cleaners don't work on my loo, only bleach will do the trick and that can't be good for the environment.

I do have vinegar, haven't tried that yet. How does the salt work?

We once moved into a place that had dark brown marks in the toilet where presumably the limescale had been stained by shit .

We used spirit of salts to get it off. Thereafter something for toilets with limescale cleaners in it.

I use cillit bang on the sink and bath and bleach for the toilet.

I squirt Viakal about once a month. And I use those cloths that are bobbley on one side.

Bleach doesn't shift limescale it just stains it yellowy ime, you need blue harpic.

Viakal is superb.

Also a squeegy thing for shower screens saves a lot of hassle if you quickly clean off the water before getting out

Squeegying and drying off after is the best preventer but rather tedious

Lime lite.

Bicarb of soda (stuff you use in baking) mixed to a paste with water and rubed on well with cloth works v well. The water is very hard here too and I find Ecover's limescale remover spray very good on sink and bath.

rubbed oops

bath power - toxic but excellent.

Lime Lite works well on my shower screen and bath, both of which get very bad due to hard water

I second the use ecover limescale remover much less smelly than the others. Their normal bathrrom spray is good too and found is excellent on cleaning carpets essential with my toddler.

viakel spray - does the trick no major rubbing - just spray quick wipe and rinse.

HG Bath Shine - at any good ironmongers.

Bath Power! My MIL swears by it and she is a very very clean and tidy lady. I am such a disappointment to her...

One of my colleagues from boots recommended a product called ataka in the store and it is wonderful. It stinks really badly and you will need gloves but it took off all the limescale and water marks from my sink and bath tub in 5 miutes. It's only £1.25 from boots and truely a godsend for me after trying other products and scrubbing away.

What works on the metal bit of the shower screen?
Would bicarb work?
