Limescale is the buildup of minerals, hard water may taste good but it builds up limescale around the taps, faucets,  showerheads, toilet bowls and what not just because of this we face a lot of trouble. Lime scale can be hard to deal with, gradually as it builds up. If you don’t tackle it on time it not only ruins the look of your bathroom but it even affects the way water comes out of the taps and showerheads too. Especially if you don’t know how to get rid of the lime scale it is not possible for you to get rid of it. House Cleaning Atlanta has few tips that will help you in getting rid of limescale in different places during house cleaning.

1.   Lemon and vinegar

When house cleaning, there are a number of things available in the market that can be used to remove the lime scale from different surfaces. But it will all too cost you a lot of money. So instead of buying products that are commercially available you can use lemon and vinegar to treat this problem. It will cost less in your pocket and also will be as effective in dissolving the lime scale as any commercial based product.

·         Taps and bathroom fittings

When house cleaning, you may have seen lime scale build up way to many times and that to over a very short period of time, so for this you should fill up your spray bottle with equal parts of vinegar and water, shake it well and then whenever you clean the taps, sink, tiles, baths spray this mixture on and then wipe it with a cloth. This will prevent the buildup of lime scale. During house cleaning if you do find a buildup of limescale around the taps, then dip the towel in water and vinegar mixture and wrap it around the tap, for overnight. In the morning you will find that the lime scale has been removed around the tap.

·         Washing machine and dishwasher

When house cleaning, if you find the buildup of lime scale in the washing machine or dishwasher, then you should mix 1 cup vinegar with the detergent and run an empty cycle as normal. This will help in removing the lime scale buildup from the machine and give you a clean machine. Also since the detergent smells nice it will help with making your machines smell nice as well.

·         Showerheads

When house cleaning, many times we have found that our showerheads holes fill up with lime scale. This causes the reduction in pressure of the water in the showerheads, which is really irritating. During house cleaning, for this method you can either take vinegar in a Ziploc bag and dip the showerhead in it tie it with a band and let it sit overnight. In the morning, the lime scale will be dissolved and you will have a clean showerhead.
