What You’ll Need:
White vinegar — a natural acid that dissolves mineral buildup
Baking soda — a gentle abrasive that deodorizes and helps break down grime
Lemon juice (optional) — adds extra acid power and a fresh scent
A spray bottle or bowl for soaking
How It Works
Vinegar’s acetic acid reacts with the calcium carbonate in limescale, breaking it down into soluble compounds that can be easily wiped away. Baking soda adds a fizzing action when combined with vinegar, helping to lift deposits without harsh scrubbing. Lemon juice amps up the acidity while leaving a pleasant aroma.
The Recipe & Instructions
Mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle or bowl. For tough buildup, use undiluted vinegar.
Optional: Add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice for extra potency and scent.
Sprinkle baking soda directly on the limescale or into the vinegar solution for fizz action.
Apply generously to affected areas — faucets, showerheads, kettle interiors, or tiles.
Let it sit for 30 minutes to an hour. This resting time allows the solution to dissolve the mineral deposits naturally.
Wipe away with a clean cloth or rinse thoroughly. No scrubbing needed! For kettle interiors, boil the vinegar-water mixture and then rinse.
