Over time, limescale builds up in the bathroom bowl and it will probably sometimes be hard to remove. Limescale forms in the bathroom when hard water evaporates and calcium and magnesium mix, which leaves deposits behind. Luckily, there are easy ways to do away with it and fans of the cleansing influencer Mrs Hinch shared their best recommendations on social media.
On a Facebook group, cleansing enthusiast Vicki Fincher really useful Harpic, a product which may be present in any major supermarket.
“It’s great but I also use thick bleach and bicarbonate of soda left for just a few hours or overnight. Comes up a treat!”
Katherine Stanley agreed to say Black Harpic is what works for her. “Also denture tablets and scrub with a pumice stone,” she really useful.
“When white keep clean with a sprig bottle of white vinegar. This also cleans the seat and outdoors the bathroom,” the girl advised.

Alison Kitts added that Harpic “works amazing”. The lady, who works as a cleaner, explained she used it at a client’s house recently, where “the underside of the bathroom was so bad” but she let it sit after which used the bathroom brush and “all of it chipped off”.
One other cleansing enthusiast, Yvonne Gray, “highly” really useful Harpic. “Bleach won’t do away with limescale, it should just whiten it,” she explained.
Rebecca Sylvester said her husband emptied the water out, then she used Black Harpic overnight, she flushed the following morning and it was gone. “I didn’t even need to wash! It’s been white ever since!” she explained.
Experts at Harpic said that limescale can easily construct up around the bathroom rim “so although chances are you’ll only see just a few hints of the residue, it may very well be allowing much less water into the bowl for each flush”.
DON’T MISS:
“A diluted solution as per instructions on the bleach itself made up in a plastic jug.
“It disinfects dishcloths (it discolours sponges though, use disinfectant for those) and can kill bacteria including Coronavirus. Wash sinks/taps first with household soap,” she really useful.
Andrea O’Neill agreed also suggesting low cost thick bleach but she advised to “leave so long as possible” for it to work.
