Professional cleaner shares the one tool you need to remove limescale buildup in your shower, and it's not a cleaning spray

Limescale on shower screen.

I love my en-suite — out of the three of my bathrooms, it's arguably my favorite. But truthfully, it takes the most cleaning as the shower screen never looks clean from water marks. I live in a very hard water area, and I've used a steam cleaner, I've tried Amazon's best-rated limescale remover, and still, the bottom of my shower screen is visibly dotted with limescale. The only time it has been clear was when I paid a cleaner in the summer, and while this was great, I can't quite justify paying someone $60 to remove limescale when it's supposed to be an easy job to do yourself. Emphasis here on the supposed to be.

I came across a TikTok hack for tackling limescale on shower screens, and the tool that was used (and definitely did the job!) was added to my basket instantaneously. In the video, which was created by a cleaning service, it explains that hard water marks on shower screens are actually mineral deposits, which we already knew, but then they go on to say that sometimes, this cannot be cleaned with a solution. It needs a real good scraping.
