Tips/product reommendations for removing stubborn limescale?

[blondieminx]

I've tried scrubbing at an area of persistent limescale with a toothbrush loaded with LimeLite but it still won't shift.... help!

sorry, no advice but i will be watching in interest

should also have said that what I'm scrubbing is the bathroom basin, just next to the cold tap!

whereas i'm trying to clean a toilet

can't anyone help us?? pretty please

I use harpic limescale remover which does a pretty good job

And you need to leave it for a while.

coke? As in cola, think thats what how clean pair use

oh for the taps, white vinegar

yes
leave harpic or similar to soak for a while then scrub

it will ruin taps finish if left too long though

I thought Limelite was pretty good stuff when I used it - have you left it on a bit? White vinegar won't have much impact on stubborn limescale, and coke likewise.

Neat Viakal. Works a treat.

Wrap the tap with kitchen paper (or lay it over a flat area) and soak with white vinegar. Leave overnight, and it will be gone.

For the toilet, if it is on the side wet paper with vinegar and stick on the side, or bail out as much water as poss, then fill with vinegar and leave

Thanks all - yep leftthe limelite on for about 10 mins even though it says on the instructions 30 secs.

Will try the vinegar trick and if not then try the viakal!

Put denture tablets in the loo.

We moved into a house with an old toilet that was black below the water rim. Emptied all the water out, bought a huge catering bottle of vinegar and left it in over night.. All gone the next day.. A bit whiffy but did the trick..

Cilit bang works great on the kitchen sink limescale.

sarsons white vineagar left in the loo did what remover couldn't.
