FAQ's on limescale

What is limescale and why does it form?

Limescale is a chalky, white deposit made of calcium carbonate. It forms when hard water—water with a high mineral content—evaporates on surfaces, leaving behind mineral residues.

Where does limescale appear most often in the bathroom?

You’ll often find it on shower screens, taps, tiles, showerheads, and around drains. It can also build up inside fixtures and pipes, reducing efficiency and water flow.

Can I use any limescale remover on all surfaces?

No, some surfaces, like natural stone or coloured sanitary ware, are sensitive to acids commonly found in standard limescale removers. Always choose a product designed for the specific surface.

How can I prevent limescale from building up again?

Wipe down wet surfaces after use, install a water softener if you're in a hard water area, and use limescale removers regularly to keep surfaces protected.

What’s the best product for removing stubborn limescale?

HG limescale remover foam spray is highly effective on most surfaces, while HG limescale remover for coloured sanitary ware and HG natural stone bathroom cleaner are perfect for more sensitive materials.
