Limescale

mumofmadboys

I am impressed with the people who clean their shower screens every day! I do mine about once or twice a month!!

Ashamed to admit, I've done mine only 3 times in a year.

Through a glass darkly...

Water softener is the way to go brilliant on skin ,hair and so many other things

Nope. As I said above, I have tried all these and they don't work on mine.

I am impressed with the people who clean their shower screens every day! I do mine about once or twice a month!!

Karcher window vac is a game changer! Just add water with a small squirt of fairy. Spray the shower screen, wipe with the microfiber attachment. Turn on the window vac, and lightly vac the screen, this leaves it dry and almost streak free. If you like buff with a dry microfiber cloth! Can also clean tiles, windows, glass surfaces with the window vac.

I always spray my glass shower screen with shower spray , Mr Muscle is a good one. Spray on wet glass , and leave . No need to wipe ! Not sure it would be as good in a hard water area.

Thank you all! I’ll read all the info you’ve given me and hopefully buy a new product that will help!

I am also in a hard water area (north west). I do exactly the same as Flexiblefriend and have no issue with limescale marks. To do the job I buy large quantities of brown vinegar from A****n for a low price.
If there’s a stubborn deposit at the base of a tap, I leave the vinegar to soak then work at it with an old tooth brush before rinsing and buffing.

Use daily shower spray it stops the lime sticking it's wonderful it's about £1 from all the supermarkets

White vinegar and washing up liquid, mix in a spray bottle. Spray the glass, leave for about an hour and rinse off. Brilliant results.

Using the Karcher window thing, I find it keeps our shower screens limescale free.

Have an Oxo icing spreader (only about 5" so great for hanging in the shower) that I use every day to clear water from screen. Viakal only when I feel surface is beginning to cloud a bit. Viakal great on stainless steel sink in kitchen too.

The only thing I have found that I can rely on 100% is this robinfood.co.uk/urun/porcoz-pas-ve-kirec-cozucu/ I used to use it in Turkey and was devastated that I couldn't get it here but then I found this website. If it comes up in Turkish there is an 'English' button on the top right of the page. If you put it on limescale it actually fizzes!!

best thing I EVER did was get a water softener installed. Not cheap but lovely. It did my itchy skin a world of good.

I’m getting really good (and easy) results using the new daily use shower sprays - 3 sprays each glass panel and go

Only recently did my second Viakal deeper clean on the glass, last time was around Xmas time.

Just spray and go and it keeps immaculate - hard water area too.

I had the same problem. I wiped the glass with white vinegar on a sponge, left it for 10 minutes and to my surprise rinsed off to see clean glass. Use it on the balcony tiles as well.

I ever have limescale on my shower because I wipe all the surfaces down after my shower with a window scraper. Doesn't take a minute and not a drop left on the glass.

I'm also in London with hard water and use white vinegar to clean routinely. My shower screen has no issue with limescale. I have a folding shower screen and an Oxo good grips squeegee which is the perfect size for the screen. The only issue I have is with the plastic sealing strips where it joins thee bath, so I simply pull them off and clean them out with the white vinegar and a cotton bud before putting them back on.

I live in London so hard water, I squeegee my shower screen before I get out every time and only have to use viakal on it every few months the squeegee helps keep it pretty much sparkling.

I don’t have a shower screen (good old curtain over the bath) but have always found Viakal very good for other things - we are also in a hard water area so I use it quite a lot.

We too live in a very hard water area and I used to despair over the state of our fairly new shower screen.
I discovered Viacal, I think it is meant mainly for stainless steel, taps etc., but I find it works a treat sprayed directly onto the glass.
I leave it on for a few minutes, spray with the hose and then use a squeegee on the glass. Voila job done !!!

My links are not working….. sorry you will have to google the Vileda magical dirt system!,

Here is the Glaze photo.

We live with very hard water, the best lime scale remover is called Glaze, I buy it from a local hardware shop, I have attached a photo.
Once scale free I then dry the screen with a scrim and then use Vileda spray.

This keeps scale at bay.

Where I used to live it was hard water . I used lemon juice daily as it was the only thing that kept the marking at bay. I also used a window scraper to get the water off the glass before leaving the cubicle.

Glad to say now live in soft water area but still get the water off the glass before leaving but only need to clean the glass once a week with lemon juice.
