Thanks to the viral video uploaded by TikTok user Riya, you can witness the power of this magical cleaning hack in action.

See as she effortlessly transforms her bathroom from dull to dazzling, as she scrubs away at the stubborn limescale and soap residue using a simple ball of baking paper.



With each rub, the tap fixtures become increasingly shiny, and the shower glass goes from cloudy to crystal clear, revealing a sparkling, fresh finish that will leave you in awe. Riya herself was amazed by the results, declaring that her life was ‘complete’ after witnessing the incredible cleaning power of baking paper.



While the method using baking paper is undoubtedly effective, some viewers of the viral TikTok video have offered their own tried-and-tested cleaning suggestions that work just as well.

From using vinegar and microfibre cloths to glass cleaner, WD40, and even newspapers, there are plenty of options to choose from.



But why spend money on expensive cleaning products when you probably have everything you need to tackle limescale in your home already?

The secret weapon against limescale is citric acid in lemon, which is highly effective at dissolving and removing limescale buildup without the need for abrasive chemicals that can damage your bathroom fittings.

Here's a step-by-step guide to removing limescale using this method:

1. Soak a rag or cloth in vinegar or lemon juice. Ensure that the cloth is large enough to wrap around the entire tap and cover all areas where the limescale has formed.

2. Wrap the soaked cloth around the tap and secure it in place using an elastic band. Make sure that the entire tap is covered in vinegar or lemon juice.

3. Leave the cloth in place for about an hour, occasionally squeezing it to release more of the acid onto the tap.

4. After an hour has passed, remove the cloth and wipe away the limescale buildup using a clean cloth.



5. If there are still stubborn limescale stains around the spout, cut a lemon in half and screw it onto the spout until it stays in place. Leave it for another hour before rinsing and scrubbing away the remaining scale.

6. If necessary, you can use a scouring pad on the underside of the spout to tackle tough limescale, but be careful not to scratch the finish on the faucet itself.

With this simple and cost-effective method, you can banish limescale from your tap fixtures and enjoy a sparkling, clean bathroom without the need for harsh chemicals or expensive cleaning products.



However, while using natural cleaning products like vinegar and lemon juice can be an effective way to tackle limescale buildup, it's important to remember that they can also cause skin irritation and potentially bleach fabrics when exposed to sunlight.

It's recommended that you wear gloves throughout the cleaning process and take care to protect your clothing.
