Despite all our efforts, the faucet installed in the kitchen or bathroom becomes covered with limescale over time.
This type of contamination not only looks untidy and untidy, but can also slowly destroy the metal.
Fortunately, there are many products that help housewives keep their taps clean. But not all of them can be described as safe.
What should not be used to get rid of limescale deposits on plumbing fixtures?
1. Toilet cleaner
Many people naively believe that a product that can destroy rust can easily deal with limescale deposits.
In fact, such a product will "decorate" the chrome surface with dark stains. By the way, they also appear if you decide to use concentrated acids for this purpose.
2. Cleaning powders
If in the first case darkening is inevitable, then when using powders, which certainly contain abrasive particles, you will not only remove dirt, but also leave scratches on the shiny surface.
To avoid an awkward situation and damage to your plumbing, choose products specifically designed for the faucet. Products for sinks, tiles, stoves or toilets will not work.
