How do you get limescale in the bathroom?
Limescale deposits form when water dries up. Particles remain behind on the surface. They are known as limescale. The water particles that produce the dull shine are the calcium and magnesium ions. Calcium and magnesium naturally occur in water. In some areas, there is more calcium and magnesium in the water, which means limescale forms faster.
