Scale forms where there is dampness and moisture. Whether it’s the shower, basin or toilet, scale is particularly common in the bathroom.

How often you need to descale your toilet depends on the hardness of the water where you live. In general in the UK, water in the South is harder, meaning limescale will form more quickly.

How often you use your toilet also impacts how frequently limescale forms. The more often you use, and flush, the toilet, the quicker scale will form. See how you can descale your toilet bowl below.
