Homemade Tips for Removing Limestone (Limescale)
1. Lemon Juice or Vinegar Soak
Lemon juice’s acidity breaks down mineral buildup. Apply lemon juice or vinegar to affected areas (faucets, showerheads, tiles) and let it sit for 15-30 minutes before scrubbing and rinsing.
2. Baking Soda and Vinegar Combo
Sprinkle baking soda on the limescale, then spray vinegar over it. The fizzing reaction helps lift deposits. Scrub gently and rinse well.
Homemade Tips for Eliminating Bad Smells
1. Baking Soda Deodorizer
Place an open box or small bowl of baking soda in the bathroom to absorb odors naturally.
2. Essential Oil Diffuser
Add a few drops of tea tree, eucalyptus, or lavender oil to a diffuser or a spray bottle with water to freshen the air and inhibit mold growth.
3. Regular Drain Cleaning
Pour a cup of baking soda followed by a cup of vinegar down the drain. Let it fizz for 15 minutes, then flush with hot water to keep drains clean and odor-free.
