What's the best way to remove encrusted limescale from old chrome
bath taps? Having a quick google, I couldn't really find any good
answers!


I was advised that lemon juice can do the business - and from a small
experiment I carried out that would seem to be the case.

So if you've got a leftover plastic lemon from pancake day.....

The water here in north Hampshire is incredibly hard and I have to use
Kilrock on the chrome kitchen mixer tap once per month. It does say on the
bottle not to use it on/near enamel but to use the gel version instead. I've
never used it in a bathroom because the rest of my house runs from a
water-softener, a proper ion-exchange one not the magic coil ones :-)
