With citric acid

The first way to use the bag method is  definitely citric acid!

This product is renowned for its  anti-limescale power  and it is no coincidence that it is also used to clean the shower or the entire bathroom in general.

All you have to do is dissolve  150 grams of citric acid in 1 liter of water  until you get a single solution.

Next, fill the plastic bag halfway with the solution, secure it near the faucet with a rubber band, making  sure the filter is completely submerged in the liquid compound.

Wait a few hours, then remove the bag and that’s it!

Lemon juice

Besides citric acid,  lemon is also a great solution  to get rid of limescale!

You will have to follow the procedure described above, but inside the bag with water you will have to put the  juice of 2 lemons.

Always tie the bag carefully making sure the filter is in the water and lemon solution and leave  for at least 4 hours.

Then remove the bag and remove any remaining dirt with a sponge.

White vinegar

White vinegar  could not be missing from our call, a  perfect remedy against limescale!

Always fill the bag with lukewarm water and pour  1 and a half glass of vinegar inside  , then always attach it to the tap.

Wait about 3 hours, then you can remove and enjoy the fantastic result with the filter completely clean!

Did you know?  A very similar method is also used to clean the shower head!

Bicarbonate de sodium

As a last resort, let’s use  baking soda  , grandma’s timeless tip!

3 tablespoons of this  natural element in the sachet with lukewarm water will be enough to achieve a fantastic result.

You will need  to leave it to act for 3/4 hours  so that the abrasive action of the baking soda can remove all the limescale.

When you remove the bag, rinse thoroughly and dry with a microfiber cloth.

Warnings

I remind you to use the remedies described above in a hidden corner to ensure you do not damage or stain the items.
