    Do you mean in tea or on surfaces?

    White vinegar for the latter is a cheap and effective solution. Don’t get it mixed up with your tea making though. That would be wrong.

    Both froggy, although all the water I consume is Brita filtered so that’s not an issue. No, this is on surfaces, specifically, in the tiny nooks and crannies in my shower. I have limescale remover stuff that works, but I can’t get into the tiny corners to wipe it off. Give it a few days and I can revisit it with the steam cleaner, that’ll sort everything :D

    My ex used to use white vinegar to clean the shower head, taps and whatnot in our old house. It stinks the place out so that’s not an option.

    Viakal spray bottle stuff gets into nooks :)

    Nah - liquid stuff I have, then blast the crap out with the steam cleaner. Seriously, steam cleaners are the nuts when it comes to cleaning :D

    I’ve just found a load of it floating around in our kettle. Gross!

    I use filtered water in my kettle, plus I rinse it out quite frequently so it’s not so much of an issue there.
