Scale is a deposit of calcium carbonate that often accumulates on kettles, boilers, drains, toilets, and other surfaces where hard water has evaporated. When hard water evaporates, calcium and magnesium combine to form lime. Sharing tips on Ms. Hinch's Cleaning Tips forum, cleaning enthusiasts shared various methods for removing stubborn limescale.

For those who want to try a natural method, some members of the group have suggested baking soda.
Amalia Reynoldson said: "Baking soda and lemon juice.
"It works if you are patient enough and remember to wear gloves."
When mixed with lemon juice, the two natural cleaners act like a mild abrasive and solve all kinds of cleaning problems.
Limescale deposits can also be a problem if the kettle hasn't been cleaned for a long time.
To get rid of scale, Ms. Hinch's fans recommended using white vinegar and lemon and letting it soak for an hour.
Then boil the kettle three or four times before allowing it to cool. The limescale should loosen enough to wash off.
Be sure to fill it with water and boil it several times before using to ensure no residue is left.
