How housewives ruin plumbing with their own hands: products that are not used for their intended purpose
The desire to tidy up your plumbing is natural, and there is nothing wrong with it until it turns out that household chemicals were used for other purposes.
This happens when housewives decide to remove limescale or other deposits without first checking what surfaces the composition is suitable for.
We will tell you in what cases initiative leads to unpredictable consequences.
Before treating a shiny faucet or metal shelves in the bathroom, you need to read what the manufacturer of household chemicals thinks about this.
It is quite possible that the product, although it copes with limestone, is not without consequences. For example, the product may become dull, scratches or stains may appear that will be impossible to disguise, much less remove.
Therefore, it is important to remember that any chemicals that are intended for cleaning sinks and toilets cannot be used to clean metal products, including bathtubs.
The main component of these products are acids, which leave marks on the surface of shiny metal taps and shelves that are no better than limescale.
Also, do not use abrasive substances that leave scratches on the shiny surface.
