Limescale deposits that thickly cover taps in the bathroom or kitchen are a problem familiar to many housewives.

Over time, metal surfaces lose their shine and begin to look untidy due to white marks left on them by minerals dissolved in water.

Luckily, there is a simple and effective method that will help restore the shine to your faucets. It involves using a simple wax candle.

To tidy up these bathroom details, you need to have a regular wax candle and a soft towel on hand.

Next, take a wax candle and rub it over the surface of the faucet, paying special attention to areas where scale often accumulates.

Use a soft towel to wipe the faucet thoroughly. This will help distribute the wax evenly and give the surface a shine.

The wax layer created will allow water to flow more easily from the tap, leaving fewer marks.

This method is suitable for those who want to reduce cleaning time and avoid using harsh chemicals.

Care instructions

To prevent heavy scale build-up, it is recommended to wipe the taps with a dry cloth after each use. This will help keep them clean.

Lemon juice is effective on stubborn stains. Apply it to a cloth and wipe the stained areas; lemon juice will help dissolve calcium and leave a pleasant aroma.

You can also use vinegar to combat scale. Soak a cloth in vinegar and leave it on the tap for a few minutes. After that, wipe the taps with a towel - the vinegar will soften the scale and make it easier to remove.
