Anything acidic.

Lemon juice
Vinegar

Bicarbonate is alkali so doubt it would work.

Citric acid is good - it's a powder, you can buy small amounts from chemists or I think Wilkos sell larger boxes.

Citric acid = lemon juice :)

Involves the o/p remembering to buy it too so doesn't overcome the problem ;)

Appreciate that citric acid isn't something that many people have in the house, but it's worth picking up - most preparations of it are stronger than lemon juice, so work a bit better on kettles, sinks etc. And you can use it in cooking too!

go buy a spray bottle of vinegar from Wilkinsons.

good chemical to do lots of cleaning with!
