Mrs Hinch fans say £1.62 product 'melts off toilet limescale'
Toilet limescale can be a nightmare to remove, but one cleaning fan has revealed how a simple product can melt it off in minutes — and can prevent it coming back Limescale, also known as calcium carbonate, is a mineral deposit that forms when hard water leaves residue upon evaporation. In the loo, particularly on the seat and bowl, these mineral deposits result in brown, yellow, and grey stains which stubbornly cling to the surfaces, making cleaning a headache. One individual in search of cleaning hacks took to the Mrs Hinch Tips and Tricks Facebook page anonymously seeking advice on keeping their toilet free from unsightly limescale and the persistent yellow-brown marks that reappear within weeks after cleaning. They posted: "My toilet gets brown stains so easily. It's spotless now, and in a couple of weeks, it will be disgusting again and full of limescale, with yellow-brown stains. How can I prevent it?". Fellow Mrs Hinch fans were quick to offer a solution, with many in the group suggesting Harpic Power Plus toilet cleaner as a miracle product for tackling the issue. Poster Sarah Hill said: "Harpic melts off the limescale. I use it every week to make sure it doesn't come back. My toilet's always shiny now." Harpic Power Plus Toilet Cleaner Gel is available in a number of supermarkets, and is currently just £1.62 in Asda. Elly Barrett agreed, saying: "Remove the limescale with Harpic in the black bottle. You just need to leave it in there for a few minutes before flushing." She also warned against using bleach, which may only temporarily disguise the problem: "If you use bleach, it will just bleach the colour out, but it doesn't remove the limescale, so the colour will come back after just a couple of days.", reports the Express. Jayne Hawley said: "Black Harpic once a week. Leave it in the toilet for 10 minutes before flushing, and the limescale never comes back." Denise Bolster shared her top pick by posting an image of Harpic Power Plus toilet cleaner and commenting: "This stuff every time. It works wonders." In agreement, Patricia Lancaster replied: "That's what I use, it's brilliant." For those looking for a greener alternative, citric acid comes highly recommended. Sandy Herring remarked: "I always use citric acid and my loo is sparkling and has been for years." Jan Young suggested: "Citric acid spread around the rim with a gloved hand, then sprinkled in the bowl overnight, then just flush as normal in the morning." Janet Barret cautioned against bleach, promoting citric acid instead: "Bleach can be the reason why you are getting permanent stains. "I wash my toilet with citric acid or a mixture of citric acid, water and washing liquid."
