Cleaning limescale from bath

Does it HAVE to be 'white' vinegar or can you use the brown stuff ? Will it stain my bath if I use brown ?0

Tescos stock white vinegar0

Brown vinegar will be fine. Mostly white vinegar is recommended simply because it doesn't pong quite so much.
LImescale is alkaline, so in fact any acidic liquid or paste will dissolve it. Citric juice, such as lemon, will work too - it's just more expensive than vinegar. For the loo flat coke works well if left in the bowl overnight.
