How to remove sediment from the faucet? All you have to do is rub the rubber on the faucet. It will quickly remove remaining soap scum and limescale stains. Although the rubber is abrasive, by handling it gently, your faucet will not be scratched and will quickly get rid of any dirt.
Remove limescale with white vinegar
Here is another useful tip for removing limescale from any surface.
It is a simple, fast and economical solution: the main ingredient is none other than white vinegar. You surely already know that this natural product is renowned for its cleansing, stain removing and whitening properties. It is also an infallible weapon against limescale and tartar.
This detergent will therefore be very effective for descaling the shower and taps, but also for eliminating bad odors, polishing surfaces or cleaning other objects in the house (such as pots and pans in the kitchen).
How is it used to remove limescale and encrustations from taps? Here are the simple steps to follow:
Unscrew the tap filter and remove it.
Soak it in white vinegar for a few hours. If the faucet has not been cleaned for a long time, feel free to leave it overnight.
Then rinse it thoroughly and put it back on the tap.
Note that vinegar is also used to remove scale accumulated on the sink. If the sink cap is chrome, you can remove the limescale by soaking it in white vinegar for a few hours. For the rest of the tap elements you can use a spray bottle: spray the product on the dirty areas and leave to act for about 3 hours before cleaning. Brilliance guaranteed!
NB : if you don’t have white vinegar on hand, wine or apple cider vinegar will also work.
