Household item will ‘melt away’ limescale on taps without scrubbing

Dealing with the stubborn buildup of limescale on your taps can be really frustrating but there is a solution in your medicine cabinet that can help you melt away any buildup without scrubbing.

Rubbing alcohol offers a quick and effective way to restore shine and cleanliness to your taps.

Limescale can accumulate on taps over time, making surfaces look dirty and less shiny.

According to experts at Mira Showers, limescale can also interfere with the performance of your taps, pipes, and showerheads, leading to blockages and reduced water pressure over time.

Wipe down the tap with a damp cloth to remove any loose particles before pouring a small amount of rubbing alcohol onto a clean cloth or cotton pad.

Alternatively, you can soak a cotton ball in rubbing alcohol and apply it directly to the limescale deposits on the tap.

Gently rub the rubbing alcohol-soaked cloth or cotton ball onto the limescale deposits, focusing on areas where the buildup is most severe.

Use a circular motion to effectively loosen and dissolve the mineral deposits.
