However, if you need to clean grills or shower heads, leave them submerged in the sink overnight.
Vinegar is also excellent for removing limescale from today’s iron and washing machine, and all you have to do is put it in the tank or drum and let it reach high temperatures or start a wash at around 60°.

Baking soda : can be used alone or together with lemon. In the bathroom, for example, you can use it alone and simply place it on the walls of the toilet and leave it on overnight. The next morning simply scrub with the brush and rinse.
For the sink, however, it will be better if combined with lemon, simply rub the lemon and then pour the baking soda on top, let it sit and then rinse.
Citric acid : simply dissolve it in water and apply it to the areas to be treated with a sponge. Leave it on for a few minutes and then rub, rinse and dry. However, be careful not to use them on surfaces such as marble and wood.
Tomatoes or cucumbers : just cut one of these two vegetables in half and rub it on the lime crusted area. Leave it on for a few minutes and then rinse. The acidity of the tomato and cucumber will act.
