The stone in the water is nothing more than the precipitated calcium and magnesium compounds that are in it. When heating the water, e.g. in a kettle, they form a limescale deposit, however, if such water appears in the bathroom after it has dried on the surface of the sink, in a shower cabin or in a bathtub, they leave white deposits and stains. We know how to get rid of them effectively.
Where does the stone on the tap come from?
A high degree of water hardness can occur regardless of its source. This means that we can encounter the phenomenon both in the case of water supplied from the water supply system and also from our own intake. Water hardness is a feature that results from the presence of mainly calcium and magnesium cations. It happens that they can also be accompanied by iron and manganese ions in the second stage of oxidation. The higher the concentration of magnesium and calcium, the more the hardness of the water increases and the more our household appliances and components can feel it.
Even a small bathroom with a shower can be time consuming to clean up due to scale and limescale
Lime sediment is harmful for two reasons: it is an ideal environment for the formation of bacterial outbreaks and has a negative effect on the operation of household appliances,
If we want to get rid of it in a safe way so as not to damage the shiny surface of the fittings, there are a few things you should know. The chrome finish of our faucets should not be treated with sharp brushes or powdered preparations, as the silver coating can be scratched when scrubbing. It is best to use a soft, cotton cloth or sponge for care, and use milk or liquid cleaning agents. They will also work well.
Home remedies effective in the fight against limescale
However, it is important that in the case of limescale, a solution of vinegar with water is no longer sufficient, only vinegar alone must be used. It is enough to soak a cloth or a larger cotton swab with it and use it to wash the faucet. If the treatment does not bring the expected results, wrap the tap with a soaked cotton ball and leave it for at least half an hour. After this time, it is enough to rinse the tap thoroughly with warm water.
