Every year our team come across the same issues caused by removing limescale using an off-the-shelf supermarket product.<\/p>

Although these products remove limescale, it is not often appreciated that limescale is of the same rock type as limestone and marble, both being calcium carbonate.<\/p>

This is why limestone and marble erode when in contact with limescale removing product.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Our clients always ask while we are restoring their damaged stone, what can they use in the future to remove limescale.<\/p>

We explain it needs to be prevented from building up in the first place. Whether this be on chrome taps or the stone itself.<\/p>

An overwhelming majority of UK residential property is in hard water areas with high lime content. Those properties that have installed water softeners do not have hard water, eliminating the need to use acid based limescale removers.<\/p>

If there are no water softeners installed, the best process is to contact your local plumber to remove your water & chrome fittings from showers and vanity tops. These fittings are then placed into a container with limescale removing chemicals until the limescale has dissolved.<\/p>

This is more cost affective than engaging a professional maintenance company to restore the damage caused through the misuse of limescale remover.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>
