Those foggy, white streaks on glass doors are limescale’s masterpiece. They look terrible. But you have a plan.
Mix equal parts vinegar and dish soap in a spray bottle. The soap helps the mixture stick to vertical surfaces. Spray it on generously.
Let it sit for 15 minutes. Then, scrub with a magic eraser or a non-scratch pad. Rinse thoroughly. Dry with a microfiber cloth.
For a shiny finish, use a squeegee after every shower. Yes, every time. It prevents scale from forming. Call it your new shower buddy.
Fun fact: A woman in Ohio once told me she sings opera while squeegeeing. She says it makes the glass gleam. I don’t know if that’s true, but try it anyway.
Kitchen Kettle and Coffee Maker
That white stuff floating in your coffee? That’s limescale, not dairy. Ew. Fix it now.
Fill your kettle with equal parts water and vinegar. Boil it. Let it sit for 30 minutes. Pour it out.
Boil fresh water twice to rinse. Your kettle will be brand new. Your tea will taste like tea again, not minerals.
For coffee makers, run a cycle with vinegar and water. Follow with two cycles of plain water. Your morning brew will thank you.
