oldypigeonpopper Posted August 5, 2023 Report Share Posted August 5, 2023 (edited) Hello, tried lots of cleaning products living in a hard water area , just found one for the sink, called The pink stuff 👍 , no good for steel enamel bath or ceramic sink , , home is rented with social housing so not going to put in water softener etc, just need a fool proof scale and scum cleaner for an old fool who hates cleaning 🤔🙄😁 Edited August 5, 2023 by oldypigeonpopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munzy Posted August 5, 2023 Report Share Posted August 5, 2023 The CilitBang spray works for me. Failing that a spray of slightly diluted hydrochloric acid will get it off in seconds, just rinse it off after and it shouldn’t cause any harm.

It burns skin so you have to be careful but it works well. I think it’s the key ingredient in any of these limescale removers but diluted to a safe/less effective level.
