Being an adult essentially means worrying about things you never thought you’d worry about - like the hardness of the water where you live. And when I moved into my home in a (very) hard water area of Kent five years ago, I quickly realised that my county’s chalky soil would consume my life more than I thought. After all, hard water can lead to major limescale build-up.
And while I may be Ideal Home’s cleaning editor, the reality is that I don’t want to spend every waking moment cleaning limescale from my toilets or getting rid of limescale in kettles. That’s why I’ve spent the past five years learning how hard water can affect a house and adjusting my everyday habits to keep my home limescale-free.
