The shower is certainly the area of ​​the bathroom most subject to the accumulation of limescale which, in turn, traps dirt and soap residues, creating annoying white or brown stains. Luckily it is possible to eliminate limescale using only natural ingredients.

When limescale accumulates on the walls of the shower and hardens, we usually resort to specific products which however are full of chemicals harmful to health. There are some natural alternatives that are equally effective and below we suggest more than one recipe.

Periodically cleaning all parts of the shower, from the tiles to the glass and the shower head, is very important to prevent the accumulation of limescale and dirt. A clean bathroom is a fundamental condition for correct hygiene.

The ingredients of the DIY spray to remove limescale from the shower are vinegar and baking soda. The first has ideal properties for disinfecting and eliminating dirt and, combined with the second ingredient, generates a chemical reaction capable of eliminating dirt and leaving surfaces perfectly clean.

In a container, mix 3 parts of white vinegar and one part of water. Add 2 tablespoons of baking soda and wait for the effervescent reaction to finish. It will take about 30 seconds. Finally, add the juice of one lemon and pour into a spray bottle.

Spray the solution over the entire surface of the shower, wait 10 minutes and then scrub with a sponge or toothbrush to remove dirt and limescale .

Finally, rinse with water and dry well with a clean cloth. It is important to leave a shower perfectly dry and for this reason, if possible, you should leave the windows open for a few minutes.
