If the limescale is very stubborn, we recommend that you leave the liquid in the toilet for several hours or even overnight.
Without this handy gadget, you’d have to soak some kitchen roll in a limescale remover and then wedge it around your tap or use a gel, still not fully reaching the underside. This powerful limescale remover is also designed to tackle soap scum and rust stains, so it’s a great all-around cleaner to have in your kitchen or bathroom.
The gel formula also means it clings to hard surfaces, allowing it to get to work without gravity sabotaging its best efforts. If the limescale is really bad, use your loo brush as a plunger to lower the water level and it will work in the toilet bowl without getting diluted. Using a shower squeegee after you have a shower might also help you keep on top of your limescale build-ups.We like that the bottle is made from 100% recycled plastic and that Viakal is safe to use (as long as you don’t mix it with bleach) as it’s free from ammonia, bleach and chlorine. Before using any limescale remover, we recommend that you read the label and follow the instructions on the bottle. And you can remove limescale and dirt build-up in the rubber door seal with more ease than a washing machine cleaner, which mostly only cleans the drum itself.
