How to clean the shower stall from lime scale at home?

Wash the shower stall from lime scale at home can sometimes be difficult. Especially if the situation is running. But knowing some of the tricks and secrets of practical hostesses, it is not difficult to achieve a radiant brilliance and long-lasting purity. Everything is within reach, and everything is possible.

That set such a new and beautiful shower. It shines with purity. But what will happen to her after a few baths? Soapy stains, limescale and yellow spots, dark stripes of mold or fungus do not add aesthetics. Often the appearance of these unpleasant manifestations can be avoided:

• Often ventilate the room and do not forget to periodically treat the joints and seams between the tiles with special tools - there will be no mold and mildew. And it is also necessary to make a rule: wash the cabin after each shower visit. It is necessary only to rinse the walls with hot and then cool water and wipe dry with a towel or napkin.

• Once a week or two to carry out a small cabin cleaning. Clean plumbing, pallets of the wall with special means of purchase or independently prepared compounds of soda or vinegar, toothpaste, vodka or laundry soap.

Conducting such simple manipulations, you can delay the appearance of a raid. But unfortunately, the reality is that the water is too hard and with various chemical impurities, it is not always possible to ventilate the room, and not everyone can pedalically dry the surfaces after each shower. And therefore there is a need for general cleaning and cleaning of hydrobox.

A shower cabin is a rather complicated structure consisting of several parts: chrome-plated handles and sanitary ware, plastic doors and glasses, a pallet, which can be made of acrylic, stone or metal, tiled. Unfortunately, there is no universal remedy that can clean everything. Every detail needs an individual approach.

The very first elements that take up the impact of the resulting raid are hydromassage jets and shower heads. You can clear them in several ways:

• Use a special purchase tool for cleaning chrome products.
• You can treat the surface with a warm solution of "Antinakipin" (or other means of combating scale in kettles).
• Apply warm vinegar to the surface, wait 10-15 minutes, and then clean it with a soft cloth. Clean the clogged holes with an ordinary sewing needle or a toothpick. If the layer of plaque is large, then you can make a “lotion” with vinegar: wet the cloth, attach it to the plumbing, close it with cling film or plastic bag and “forget” about the watering can for a while (up to half an hour) to do the vinegar and then rinse everything with plenty of water.

• Instead of vinegar, you can use citric acid or lemon juice, popular in this case oxalic acid, as well as alcohol (vodka) solution. In addition, toothpaste has good cleansing properties.

The material of the walls and doors of the cabin is usually plastic or glass.Cleaning the glass doors is probably one of the easiest tasks in cleaning the cabin. Here you can use different compositions for washing the glass.

The main thing, Do not use abrasive compounds and hard scouring pads, sponges. It’s so easy to scratch the surface. Cloths and napkins made of nonwoven materials, old rags, flexible rubber scrapers are best suited for work.

For those who still prefer folk remedies, it is possible to prepare a vodka (alcohol) composition in the ratio of 1: 2 (1 tablespoon of vodka to two tablespoons of water) or dilute the sal ammoniac. Such simple mixtures perfectly remove dirt from the glasses.

We must not forget to clean plastic surfaces, because they tend to accumulate pollution and darken. It is best to clean plastic surfaces with products that do not contain formaldehydes, acetone, alkalis, and solvents.

If the walls of the shower cabin are tiled or simply tiled, you can clean them with soda or "Pemolyuksa", "Comet". Particular attention should be paid to interplicular seams. This is a favorite place of occurrence of fungi and mold. Their treatment with fungicides is useful.

The pallet can be made of various materials. The most "capricious" in terms of cleaning is an acrylic representative. The first available tool can not be washed. He will quickly deteriorate. For him, there are special cleaning tools (the same as for acrylic baths).

But if you can not get them, you can use the most common toothpaste. It does not have abrasive properties, like soda, but it is very effective in removing plaque. And the most common laundry soap also copes well with the task.

The most unpretentious in cleaning - it is enamelled and tiled pallets. They can be cleaned even with powdery means, without fear of “scratching”. When processing a tiled surface, it is necessary to pay attention to the seams so that there is no mold in the future.

Unpretentious in terms of cleaning and pallets made of stone. Usually, dirt does not accumulate on them as intensely as on other surfaces. But when the need arises, it is worth cleaning them with special means. To return the former brightness of the stone use the tools for cleaning toilets.

Select effective cleaning products for the shower is a very difficult task. And it is not easy that there are a lot of various means on the market today. And the eyes just run away when you need to choose one thing. But nonetheless There are time-tested and positive products, such as:

• Dishwashing detergents - effectively remove traces of soap. In addition to liquid formulations, in some cases “Komet”, “Pemolux” and other powders are permissible.
• The so-called fungicides - means for removing black plaque, mold.

• Tools for processing toilet bowls - can help wash, for example, the stone tray “Toilet duckling” can be a wand magic wand for those who have very hard water.
• Means to combat scale in kettles. The solution of "Antinakipin" will help get rid of limescale.
• Tools for cleaning mirrors and glasses. It doesn't matter what it will be - “Mr. Muskul” or some other composition. Many of them perfectly wash windows and mirrors.
• Melamine sponge. It is an almost universal remedy that can effectively remove pollution.

Popular detergents that can be used in cleaning hydrobox:

The market of household chemicals littered with all sorts of products. But, after all, it is still "chemistry". To use it often in my house I don’t feel like it.

There are ways to clean the cabin and without these purchased products. One of them is use of steam generator. Another is the use of "grandmother's" folk recipes for maintaining cleanliness in the house.
