Did you know Hartlepool, Wynyard, Richmond, Dalton & other areas in the North & North East have some of the hardest water readings in the UK? Hard water causes limescale, which can cause damage both externally (to your surfaces, taps, shower) and internally ( to washing machines, pipes, boiler and heating system). The only way to know if you have hard water, is to test it and have a ppm reading.

Temporary Limescale Removal: At Home Remedies That Don’t Work

The removal of hard water stains can be done at home with some at home DIY remedies. However, these at home remedies take time and they dont fix the underlying problem - allowing the limescale damage to continue building up in your home. You may have heard of, and even tried, some of these unsuccessful remedies including:

White vinegar + waterWhy it doesn't solve the problem: It only removes the surface layer of limescale and doesn't remove the calcium and magnesium from your water, so new limescale can build up again.
Citric acidWhy it doesn't solve the problem: cannot remove extensive limescale throughout your home, only very light surface layers.
Bicarbonate of sodaWhy it doesn't solve the problem: bicarbonate itself isn't a solution to hard water or preventing limescale.
Vinegar + bicarbonate of sodaWhy it doesn't solve the problem: the two react together and neutralise each other. The fizz looks impressive, but it doesn't remove limescale.
