Cleaning limescale crud from taps on a plastic bath?

I’m used to porcelain which takes anything you throw at it. But I’m cautious about using products on plastic as I’ve had bad experiences in the past and turned plastic orange.

vinegar in a plastic bag wrapped round , leave a few hours

Astonish have a briliiant range of products . I don't buy the paste now because it goes solid even with the lid on , but the liquid cleaner ( like Ciff) is great ,
Non scratching

I’ve used the edge of a wet 2p coin on my taps and am amazed at how it’s taken the limescale off.

Vinegar. Either put some cotton wool or the area and pour vinegar on then leave it to soak - or put it in a balloon and then hang off the tap. It’s a miracle.

I came on to say wet 2p too. It got the limescale off my sink taps, and limescale I didn't even know I had from my bath taps!!!

White vinegar is eco friendly, person friendly, surface friendly and purse friendly.

Thank you. Lots to try there.

Farmdrop are pretty eco-clued up and as well as groceries have even stuff like plug and drain cleaner that will not fill your home or our water with toxins. (can't vouch as have not yet joined)
