Hero 37p item that lifts stubborn toilet limescale with 'no scrubbing'
One issue can be found almost anywhere that there is water is limescale. From kettles, taps and showerheads to toilets, it can build up easily - particularly impacting those who live in hard water areas. It is not actively harmful for your home, but it can leave unpleasant stains in your home if you do not treat the affected areas regularly.
Initially limescale will show up as simple watermarks, but it can build up to become chalky deposits and in your toilet bowl it can cause unsightly stains that can make it seem as though you are not cleaning the toilet properly. If this issue has occurred in your home there is an incredibly easy fix and it will only set you back 37p.
Even if limescale will not harm you, it can damage appliances and impact the efficiency of things like your shower or toilet. For instance, according to the experts at Plumb World, if there is an excess of limescale in your toilet, it can prevent it from flushing properly. It can also minimise the water flow in your taps or showers, potentially leading to an increase in your water bills, something that most people would be keen to avoid.
One person found their toilet was left with a seriously unpleasant brown stain at the bottom of the bowl and posted anonymously on the Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips and Tricks group on Facebook asking for advice on what the best solution might be from other users.
Posting anonymously the user explained: "Please don't judge me. I have tried so many things on this toilet, limescale removers, bleach, white vinegar, bottle of coke but nothing is shifting it. It's basically been stained I think where my kids don't always remember to flush the toilet. I hate it and want a nice white toilet again."

Bleach won't solve a limescale problem, because it cannot remove it, only hide it by turning the stain white and eventually if there is enough build up even this bleaching of the stains could stop working.
Fellow users were quick to offer up solutions for the person's issue, with one in particular a stand out remedy: Harpic Power Plus Active Tablets. "Black Harpic tablets overnight," recommended Barbara Lowe. Another user, Karen Ingram said she uses the product on a weekly basis: "Harpic plus limescale remover tablets. I pop one in my toilet every week keeps it looking sparkling."
Sharon Cieciala agreed, and added that it is a great option that doesn't involve laborious scrubbing: "Harpic tablets the only thing I've found gets rid of that. It's limescale from living in a hard water area. Happens to my son's toilet. One Harpic tablet left a couple of hours gets rid completely no scrubbing needed!"
The Harpic Power Plus Active Tablets - which come in a black package - are available at many retailers, including Tesco, Asda and B&M - where they cost about 37p per tablet. You can also grab this failsafe product at online retailers like Amazon for the same good-value price.
