REALLY Stubborn limescale!

Just an idea, but maybe you could soak some kitchen roll in some white vinegar and press it into the door runners? If you left it for a while it might soften some of the crusty bits so you could get something like a toothbrush in there and have a good scrub.0

I had the same problem when I moved into my house. I used a product called Kilrock. It comes in a small bottle with a yellow label and has a brush in the lid. It's a thickish gel that you paint on and is easy to work into nooks and crannies. I worked brilliantly and I've only had to use vinegar since. I think it was 2.99 in Wilkinson.0

Hi there :beer: I second Kilrock - I bought mine from Lakeland.
I'll add this to the existing stubborn limescale thread to keep ideas together.

Lidl do a limescale remover for 99p which I found worked well on limescale in my toilet. It's always going to be a bit of a problem to do under the rim, but perhaps just soak toilet paper with solution and stuff up there for a while.0

Thanks to all of you who recommended Kilrock gel which I got in Lakeland but has anyone seen where I can buy the Kilrock spray( or is that not as good?)
Shower screen looks much cleaner!

Ok got a fair bit of limescale on the draining board. What can i use to get rid of it?0

put white vinegar on a cloth, wrap it around the bit that needs cleaning and leave it for an hour. The limescale will come away easily.“The ideas of debtor and creditor as to what constitutes a good time never coincide.”
