🔵 1. Why does limescale form on the shower screen?

Limescale is a deposit of minerals (mainly calcium and magnesium) found in water. When water evaporates on surfaces like shower glass, it leaves these particles behind, creating white opaque stains that are hard to remove if they build up.


🔵 2. Home remedies to remove limescale stains

2.1 Cleaning limescale with vinegar

White vinegar is a powerful natural descaler. Heat a little vinegar (without boiling it) and apply it to the shower screen with a spray bottle or sponge. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes and scrub with a microfiber cloth. Finally, rinse with water and dry well to prevent new stains.

2.2 Cleaning limescale with lemon

The citric acid in lemon helps dissolve limescale deposits. Cut a lemon in half and rub it directly on the stains. Let it sit for 5 minutes, rinse with warm water, and dry with a clean cloth.

2.3 Using baking soda to boost cleaning

For stubborn stains, mix baking soda with a bit of water to form a paste. Apply it to the stain after using vinegar or lemon and scrub gently with a non-abrasive sponge. Then rinse and dry.


🔵 3. Commercial products to remove limescale from shower screens

There are specific limescale removers that dissolve stains quickly. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and wear gloves. Avoid overly abrasive products that may damage the glass or metal frames of the screen.


🔵 4. How to prevent limescale from returning

✅ Dry the shower screen with a squeegee after each shower.✅ Ventilate the bathroom well to reduce humidity.✅ Apply a limescale-protective treatment to the screen once a month.
