The problem with limescale is felt particularly clearly in the bathroom. It settles on sinks, bathtubs, taps and shelves.

It is better not to give the deposits a single chance and start fighting in the first days. Experienced housewives stock up on balloons for this. We will tell you more about this trick.

The first to suffer from limestone is the mixer. The metal mesh in the tap gets clogged with yellow flakes that have accumulated, and then the water pressure gets worse or separate streams appear that splash from the tap in different directions.

To avoid disassembling the tap, you need to take 9% table vinegar, previously dissolved in water in a 1:1 ratio, and a balloon.

The prepared solution is poured into a ball, which is placed on the mixer so that its spout is in the vinegar.

The simple design is left for one hour, after which you can remove the ball and, together with the old vinegar solution, put it on the faucet in the kitchen or in the bathroom itself.

And even after this, you can use the same vinegar to clean the faucet and shower head by spraying them with a spray bottle.

The remaining loose dirt can simply be cleaned with an old toothbrush and rinsed with running water.
