How to Make the DIY Spray
- Prepare the Solution:
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of white vinegar and 1 cup of water.
- Add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and stir well.
- Slowly mix in 2 teaspoons of baking soda. The mixture will fizz, so add it gradually to avoid overflow.
- Add Essential Oils (Optional):
- If you want your spray to smell refreshing, add 10-15 drops of your favorite essential oil. Stir the mixture again.
- Transfer to Spray Bottle:
- Use a funnel to pour the solution into a clean spray bottle. Shake gently to mix.
How to Use the Spray
- Apply Generously:
- Spray the solution liberally onto areas with limescale build-up, such as shower doors, tiles, and faucets.
- Let It Sit:
- Allow the spray to sit for 10-15 minutes. For heavier build-up, let it soak longer.
- Scrub and Rinse:
- Use a soft sponge or brush to scrub away the limescale. Rinse thoroughly with warm water.
- Repeat as Needed:
- For tough stains, you may need to repeat the process. Regular use will prevent future build-up.
Tips for Preventing Limescale
- Wipe Down Surfaces: After each shower, use a squeegee or cloth to wipe down glass and tiles to remove water droplets.
- Install a Water Softener: If hard water is a recurring issue, consider installing a water softener to reduce mineral content.
- Use the Spray Weekly: Incorporate the DIY spray into your cleaning routine to keep limescale at bay.
