[Hedge]

Viakal.

Don't know if it fake or not but a few days ago i saw a video on facebook showing energy drinks being used to remove stains

Cilit Bang Limescale and Grime works on ours. Also a hard water area.

@MrRockliffe - Do you mean the metal round the edges of the glass? Best way to protect that part?

Any metal really

I would just be cautious - water will dilute it well so have the shower ready in case

I would start off with mr muscle (or equivalent) and see how you get on

Viakal as well here. Got fed up here with calcium carbonate everywhere though so got a water softener (Harveys). Its great.

Magic sponges.

Viakal is the stuff. For any difficult areas with lots of marking - spray it on and then put a piece of kitchen towel over the area - it will hold the liquid in place better. Leave for 30 mins then clean.

You can use something like Method Shower Spray and not get the hard water streaks in the first place

 

[Maccy]

Viakal to clean the streaks off.
Any shower spray used every day to minimise the streaks in future, we use one by Method as it smells nicest

Two ways, either through abrasion with something like a cream cleaner and elbow grease or an acid based cleaner like Viakal.

Just don't use something like fluoroantimonic acid as you'll dissolve the glass and cause a great big explosion.

My ex's mother cleaned our shower with something, and after sitting there for a few minutes in the sun the glass door literally exploded, there were bits everywhere. Made one hell of a racket, luckily nobody was in the room.

I've used this and found it works pretty well

Shower glass remover.

A water softener is the ultimate answer if that is an option. When my wife ordered it I was sceptical but it is fantastic.

Under rated comment here, eliminate the cause of the problem.

Which softener have you got? I'd like to get a whole house one but probably have a bypass to a drinking water tap.

Viakal spray. Wait a bit, then a kitchen brush so it's really everywhere, then rince with a lot of water. Super sparkly

 

[Participant]

Don't think anyone's mentioned this yet but Viakal is quality.

 

[SideWinder]

Have you guys used Viakal?

Okay i joke. Gonna head out and find it. Danke!

I got a water softener (kinetico premier compact) as my wife suffers from eczema. Don't have to worry about limescale anywhere in the house now and my wife isn't scratching like crazy in the night any more. I have a separate water drinking tap which has a filter on it.

We have a Kinetico something or other. We drink the softened water as we prefer it but it’s easy to rig up a separate bypass.

No more limescale to clean, dishwasher works better, washing machine works better and doesn’t stink. Showers are noticeably better as the water just feels much nicer. It really was money well spent!
