Even if you clean hardly every spot of your house, the faucets can be a real challenge when it comes to cleaning, especially if you live in an area with hard water. Hard water influences the appearance of limescale deposits, which will take away the gloss of taps.
In severe cases, limescale deposits may partially block running water. Limescale is hard to remove, but an effective cleaning product can give some incredible results. And the following natural cleaning product can bring back the shine to your taps.
