Cleaning influencer Jo Taylor-Tunnicliffe has shared an easy home remedy to remove limescale which doesn't involve bleach or white vinegar.Limescale or hard water forms when rainwater seeps through porous rock, acquiring minerals like calcium and magnesium in the process, reports the Express.These impurities amass as limescale in various parts of the house, including around taps and showers, inside washing machines and kettles - even toilets are not spared given their constant usage of water.Limescale, while unsightly, also impacts the efficient functioning of your toilet.If left unattended, it can clog the water outlets under the toilet rim, resulting in weak flushes.The good news is it's easy to remove and now, Jo Taylor-Tunnicliffe has shared a great hack on her Instagram page @jottiesjournal, a "great naturally powerful" product to wipe away toilet limescale - citric acid.She explained: "Citric acid is a great naturally powerful product to remove both limescale and mould, making it perfect for our toilets."Jo recommended diluting two tablespoons of citric acid in warm water to clean the toilet rim and pouring it into a spray bottle.

However, she advised placing two tablespoons of the product at the bottom of the toilet bowl to eliminate limescale, leaving it to do its work for 15 minutes.Citric acid is available from B&Q for a modest £2.25, Robert Dyas for £3.59 or even on Amazon where a two-pack sets you back £6.99.In the comment section, multiple cleaning enthusiasts chimed in on this limescale removal hack.
