On
a daily basis, the water we use is more or less rich in limestone. This
explains why all objects that are in contact with water (shower head and walls,
dishes, vase, toilets, taps, etc.) inexorably end up becoming scaled and
adorned with traces of limestone. Good news: OUR RECIPES has found 4 ways to
eliminate them!
Method
# 1: with warm white vinegar
Disinfectant,
anti-microbial and antibacterial, white vinegar is also known to give tartar
and limescale no chance ... especially when used hot.
So
if you have taps, shower screens or toilets marred by traces of limestone, just
heat white vinegar in a kettle (this will allow it to be descaled in the
process!), Pour some a little on the "damaged" objects, then to soak a
sponge in the vinegar to rub them.
The
traces will not resist!
Method
# 2: with coarse salt and lemon
Over
the years and times in the dishwasher, it happens that our glasses and our
decanters are adorned with ugly traces of limestone ... To remove them, we can
use a winning duo: that of the juice of lemon and coarse salt. Just mix them
together, dip a sponge in the mixture, and rub our glasses, bottles and other
decanters with them before rinsing.
The
acidity of the lemon will attack the limestone, and the coarse salt will make
the traces leave more easily. 100% efficient!
Method
# 3: with grains of rice
Ouch:
by dint of being in contact with water, our pretty transparent glass vase is
covered with traces of the most unsightly limestone ... The problem is that as
its mouth is very narrow, the bottom and sides of the vase cannot be reached
with a sponge.
Fortunately,
to clean it, there is a brilliant trick: we will pour a handful of grains of
rice in the bottom of the vase, then pour water and a dose of washing up
liquid. Then, we will stopper the vase with our hands, and shake it with all
our strength. TADAM: the hardness of the rice grains will help loosen the lime
residue and dirt encrusted inside the vase, and the dishwashing liquid will
clean it. Brilliant, no?
Method
# 4: with a potato
We
often ignore it, but the starch contained in the potato is a natural and very
effective anti-limescale! To use it, you can rub objects with traces or lime
deposits with a slice of raw potato.
On
the other hand, if we have saucepans or pots that are well scaled and full of
lime stains, we will put them on the fire and boil some water with potato
peelings in them.
