    Questions and answers



    - Why is vinegar effective for removing limescale deposits?

    Vinegar is acidic and has an ability to dissolve limescale deposits in a natural way, which makes it an effective solution for removing limescale without using harsh chemicals.


    - Why are paper towels and nylon stockings used in the process?

    The paper towel is soaked in vinegar and then surrounds the faucet to allow the vinegar to act on the limescale. The nylon stocking is used to hold the paper in place and ensure that the vinegar can work properly.


    - Why are a scrub brush and soap needed after the vinegar has worked?


    Even though the vinegar dissolves the limescale, a scrub brush and soap are needed to effectively scrub away the loose limescale deposits and any dirt that remains on the surface.


    - How long should you let the vinegar work on the limescale deposits?


    We recommend letting the vinegar work for 1-2 hours to ensure that it has enough time to dissolve the limescale properly before proceeding with the next step.


    - Why is it important to rinse and dry thoroughly after the limescale has been removed?


    By rinsing and drying the faucet after the limescale has been removed, you ensure that any residues of vinegar and limescale are completely removed, which results in a clean and shiny surface.
