Limescale\u00a0is a chalky substance that encrusts\u00a0faucets and fittings when they in contact with hard water. Sometimes the substance collects in the nooks and crannies of our bathrooms, presenting a nightmare for anyone who has to clean it.<\/p>\n

Not only can this hinder the aesthetics of a bathroom, but over time it may begin to encrust various appliances and thwart their functionality.<\/p>\n

The use of vinegar and lemon has become commonplace to tackle limescale but some cases call for heavy-duty measures.<\/p>\n

One solution that can prevent long-term complications is a copper coin. When rubbed against the limescale it is believed that a chemical reaction is sparked between the copper and calcium.<\/p>\n

This reaction breaks down limescale efficiently enough to tackle more extreme build-ups, which are hard to treat with mainstream household products.<\/p>\n

The tip was discussed on the Facebook group for Mrs Hinch’s cleaning fans after one woman called out to fellow members for help.<\/p>\n

To present her case, the user posted a picture of her shower doors showing a severe build-up of limescale around the metal fittings. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIf it\u2019s limescale try rubbing with a copper coin. Not sure what the black bit is,\u201d wrote one member of the group.<\/p>\n

Another person followed: \u201cThis will sound stupid, a 2p coin. Run it under hot water and scratch the limescale with it. It’s a chemical reaction and it only works with a 2p coin. The lime just comes off. This works on taps as well. Try it.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A third person reiterated this advice. They wrote: \u201cScrape it with a copper coin.”<\/p>\n

Once removed, it’ll be a matter of time before the build-up resumes, so it is advisable to consider preventative measures.<\/p>\n

Staying on top of your cleaning will prevent limescale from building up in the long term and prevent unnecessary maintenance costs down the line.<\/p>\n
