Limescale – a blight on your home

While calcium and magnesium are considered to be beneficial to our health, they’re precisely the opposite to your home. Those chalky deposits around your taps, on your sink, clogging up your shower heads and making your appliances run less efficiently are not only unsightly, they’re costly too. Then there’s the unpleasant scummy film on the top of your cups of tea and coffee.

Yes, limescale can be scrubbed off for temporary relief, and you can use descaler in your kettle, but the only way to get rid of it completely is to soften your water.
