Home tips for removing limescale from shower enclosures
White vinegar and baking soda
To combat limescale on your shower walls, there's nothing like the homemade tricks of the trade inherited from our grandmothers. At the top of the list, white vinegar and bicarbonate of soda prove to be formidable products in the quest for a spotless bathroom.
White vinegar, an acetic acid par excellence, acts as a real limescale remover. Thanks to its descaling properties, it removes traces left by hard water and restores the transparency of shower enclosures. Use pure or diluted, depending on the intensity of deposits, and let the magic happen.
Baking soda acts as agentle abrasive. Its fine texture gently scrubs surfaces without damaging them, while removing limescale residues.
The lemon
Lemon, rich in citric acid, is an ideal partner in the fight against limescale deposits. Its degreasing and descaling action effectively dissolves stubborn marks, restoring your shower enclosures to their original shine. For a stronger action, you can also sprinkle salt over half a lemon before scrubbing. The salt acts as a gentle abrasive, enhancing the effectiveness of the lemon in this anti-scale trick.
Aluminum foil, the perfect ally in the fight against limescale on shower enclosures
If you're looking for an unconventional but formidably effective way to say goodbye to limescale on your shower enclosures, aluminum foil could well be your friend. This ingenious trick uses the reaction properties of aluminum foil to rid your surfaces of stubborn limescale.
When aluminium foil comes into contact with water, it triggers a chemical reaction that can help dissolve limescale deposits. This action, combined with aluminum foil's slightly abrasive texture, makes it a surprisingly effective tool for removing stubborn stains. Nevertheless, use this method with care on delicate surfaces to avoid damage.
Toothpaste
Toothpaste is very effective for removing plaque, but it can be just as effective for removing lime plaque from your shower. Opt for white, non-colored, non-gel toothpaste. White formulas, rich in cleansing agents, are ideal for removing limescale stains.
LM water, your solution for the whole house
While water softeners can also be a useful tool in the fight against limescale, they are no less costly. To reduce costs, benefit from higher quality water and have a more ecological system, we have developed a unique technology.
A solution with multiple benefits for your daily life
The name of our installation? The Dauphine. This device is based on the mechanical generation of a vortex. Through a swirling movement, the water wraps around a porcelain structure. This transformation gives the water a noticeable improvement in both quality and efficiency. When installed on your general water supply, La Dauphine optimizes the properties of the water you use every day. Limescale deposits are reduced, your skin is softer andtap water is just as pleasant to drink as bottled water.
A solution that combats limescale over the long term
As with the aforementioned products,LM water fights limescale on your shower enclosures, with a few details that make all the difference in the long term. Because it's more efficient, LM water can effectively clean all cold surfaces, while minimizing the effects of limescale. This, in turn, preserves your appliances over time. When water passes through LM Innovation technology, limescale is transformed into aragonite. In this form, its ability to adhere is reduced. LM water therefore prevents the formation of limescale and also acts on deposits already present.
In a nutshell: instead of limescale clinging to the surface, there's just a thin film left on the wall (which can be likened to talcum powder) that can be removed with a sponge, without the need for any chemicals.
An economical and ecological solution to prevent limescale build-up on shower enclosures
Beyond these benefits, our system is also part of a responsible approach. Water is a resource we're already short of, and we're working to preserve it as much as possible.
Because there's no such thing as a small saving, our solution will enable you to reduce the number of anti-scale cleaning products you use. What's more, thanks to its excellent taste, LM water offers a responsible alternative to bottled water for even the most sensitive taste buds.
