Secret Cleaners
Limescale deposits are one of the most annoying problems in the home, especially in the bathroom. Whether your water is hard or not, there will always be limescale residues which, if not eliminated in time, will give rise to real limestone formations that are difficult to remove, yellow or brownish in color. In this case, let’s see the secret of cleaning products to remove limescale deposits in no time.
How does limestone form?
Limescale is one of the most common problems encountered in the bathroom. This happens when water containing minerals, particularly calcium and magnesium, evaporates and leaves residue of these minerals. These accumulate on surfaces such as tiles, bathtubs or showers, sinks and toilets and form a hard, whitish patina.

Several factors contribute to the formation of limescale in the bathroom, including the hardness of the water. If the water is very hard, meaning it contains a large amount of minerals, more limescale will be deposited on the surfaces.
How does limestone form?
Another factor that contributes to limescale formation is water temperature. Hot water evaporates more quickly than cold water, making minerals in hot water more easily deposited on surfaces. Additionally, the use of detergents and cleaning products containing chemicals can also contribute to the formation of limescale. That’s why, as we’re about to find out, the secret to cleansers is a blend of ingredients, not a finished product.
The secret ingredients of cleansers
As you might expect, it is often the chemicals used in cleaning that contribute to limescale build-up. So let’s see how to make a bathroom cleaner that will help remove limescale quickly and easily.
You will need laundry detergent, baking soda, concentrated fabric softener with the scent of your choice, and toothpaste. Take a bowl and add 7 tablespoons of washing powder and 2 tablespoons of baking soda.
The secret of cleaners
Mix the two powders well until the mixture is homogeneous and without lumps. Measure a small amount of toothpaste onto the tip of the spoon and mix well. As a final ingredient, add half a capful of concentrated fabric softener. The concentrated formulation is better because the smell is more intense. Mix well the whole mixture which has become a little lumpy.

Take a piece of absorbent paper, take a little product with your hands and knead it until it forms compact balls that sit on the sheet of paper.
You can store the balls made in an airtight glass jar to preserve their properties and fragrance.
How to use this remedy
Using these balls to clean the bathroom is very simple. To clean the toilet, you need to pour a cup of alcohol vinegar into the toilet and then drop a ball into it. Leave it to act for a few minutes then clean the entire toilet well with the toilet brush, paying particular attention to the harder formations.
To clean the restroom
Another method of using the balls is to place them in the tank, so that the toilet is clean and smells good every time the water is flushed.
These balls can also be used to clean the bathroom floor. Simply dissolve them in a bucket of water to clean the floor and tiles
