Descaling tips & solution 

     Patchy white bathroom tiles - tired of scrubbing your bathroom fittings and faucets only to find tough hard water deposits that just wont go?Looking for a limescale remover? You have come to the right place. Let's first look at what limescale is, why water becomes hard and how it is not match for vooki Tough Limescale Spray + Scrub.

Ground Water

Ground water is the term for any water body that is found under the surface of earth, between the rock and soil formations.

Pure rainwater slowly seeps into the surface of the earth into the soil strata. When this soil strata saturates, it causes the water to percolate downwards, and in this process the water absorbs the various minerals in the rocks. This water now has become rich in minerals and becomes hard water.

What does hard water contain?

Water that is rich in minerals like calcium and magnesium carbonates or sulfates is termed as hard water. Water, being a very good solvent, absorbs the minerals from the rocks like limestone, gypsum or chalk. It is typically tested for hardness at home with the lack of foam formation. Lathery soapy water is called soft water and the one which doesn’t lather well is termed as mineral or hard water. This hard water is not directly harmful to us humans. In fact, the minerals in this hard water like calcium are what we try to supplement food with for stronger bones or teeth.

 There are two types of hard water - Permanent and Temporary. Permanent hardness is due to the presence of calcium or magnesium sulfates or chlorides, both of which are difficult to remove by boiling. Temporary hardness is due to the presence of calcium or magnesium bicarbonates and can be reduced by boiling or the addition of softening agents.

Limescale

Identified visually as white chalky deposits or brown patches. These scales pose a serious issue on some plumbing components. Any surface, be it metal, plastic or porcelain, can get deposits of such limescales. When heat or pressure is applied to water, exsolution occurs. This is the term coined for the separation of two substances that were previously in a homogeneous state. In our case, water with all its dissolved minerals during this temperature or pressure change, evaporates causing the minerals to precipitate and stick to the surface around.

These deposits on such hard surfaces are called limescales or hard water scales or salt water scales. The scales are often colored due to the iron content.

Soap Scum

The calcium content, in hard water, reacts when it comes in contact with soap. This reaction forms a thin layer called scum. This gets deposited on any surface and is usually easy to clean with just water when scrubbed. This can be found in many surfaces in the bathroom like the taps, sinks, baths, floor, walls, drains, etc..

How Limescale is removed

To get rid of these limescales, people have been using limescale removers for years now in their bathroom cleaning routine. These toilet cleaners or tile cleaners are usually made up of some form of an acid. The acids in such tap cleaners can either be strong harsh ones like the hydrochloric acids that are found in toilet cleaners or they can be natural acids like citric acid, vinegar or lactic acids. These acids react with the metallic deposits and make them soluble and thus getting washed away when rinsed.
 
The more harsh the acid, the more the damage to the person handling them and also the surface that they clean. The mild ones also end up leaving some form of damage to the surface which may not be visible immediately but on repeated use, we can find the damage it does while cleaning limescale.

 These limescale removers are usually in the form of some powder or a concentrated solution that you will have to mix or dilute with water.

 In case of some DIY (Do It Yourself) methods, you will have to mix up a weird messy concoction before cleaning the surface. This paste requires you to leave it on the surface you are cleaning, wrapped up with a plastic wrap, for about two hours or so after application. And then you have to scrub the surface with metallic scrubs. At the end of this process, you have wasted time, energy and ended up with probably clean looking surfaces.

 Wait!

 Look close, are there scratches on the surface? What about the beautiful and expensive chrome coated fittings you invested in for your toilets? Do you notice how the surface has lost it's shine and starts slowly peeling off?

 Even if not immediately, there is always a risk in trying DIYs you find on the web.
