Removing limescale from ceramic tiles


Want to keep your bathroom looking spotless? Then limescale is likely one of your biggest enemies! But how does it form, how can you clean it, and most importantly: how do you prevent it?


How does limescale form?

Limescale is the residue left behind by water when it clings to a surface. So anywhere there’s water, limescale can develop. And your bathroom, of course, is the place where water is used daily.


Cleaning limescale

Limescale is a real eyesore on your wall tiles and bathroom floor. Fortunately, it’s quite easy to remove using warm water and a splash of vinegar. It's also a good idea to soak your showerhead in cleaning vinegar from time to time. Can’t detach it? Tie a small plastic bag filled with cleaning vinegar around the showerhead. Your bathroom will be sparkling clean again in no time!

For regular maintenance of ceramics, tiles and sanitary ware in wet areas, Lithofin KF Sanitary Cleaner is the perfect solution. Use it diluted, as indicated on the label, to remove limescale, grease and soap residue. Lithofin KF Sanitary Cleaner rinses off easily with water and leaves no residue. It’s also suitable for chrome, stainless steel, cement joints, glass and plastic.


Preventing limescale

Prevention is better than cure! After showering, it’s best to dry your shower enclosure and bathroom tiles with an old towel. This keeps both your grout and tiles clean and helps prevent limescale build-up on taps and fittings.

The amount of limescale in your tap water depends largely on water hardness, which varies by region. Hard water not only leaves marks in your bathroom but can also reduce the efficiency of your household appliances and boiler. A water softener ‘softens’ tap water by removing the limescale before it enters your home. It’s an efficient way to prevent limescale from the start!


Ventilating your bathroom

Don’t forget to ventilate your bathroom during and after showering. This helps keep dirt at bay and your grout and tiles looking fresh. Excess moisture can also lead to mould growth on ceilings and walls. Want to prevent this as much as possible? Kerapoxy is an excellent choice of grout for bathrooms thanks to its strong resistance to acids and easy-care finish.
