Quick answer. White vinegar on a cloth, dwell time, then a plastic scraper. Rinse. Repeat. Scale is mineral.
Scrubbing dry with a scourer scratches chrome and glass.
MarketPalace Guide Center writes this as a solution walkthrough — the order we would use if we were in the room with you. We name the next click, then what to do if that click fails. We do not sell the TV, the kettle, or the plane ticket.
If a menu name on your set or phone does not match, use the closest wording and email hello@marketpalace.shop. We correct live pages when the path has moved.
What you need
- White vinegar
- Cloth
- Plastic card
In this guide
1. Soak a cloth in vinegar and wrap the tap or lay it on the glass
15–20 minutes.
2. Wipe and use a plastic card on the crust
Not a metal knife on chrome.
3. Rinse and dry
Water left to dry becomes the next stain.
4. For shower doors, a daily squeegee after the last shower prevents most of this
If it still fails
- Bleach does not dissolve limescale well. Acid (vinegar or a labelled limescale remover) does.
When you are done, browse more in Home & Fixes or search the Guide Center for the next job on your list. A neighbour problem — a remote, a bill, a suitcase — has its own walkthrough.
