Post by: Adam P on July 05, 2011, 10:08:29 pm

as title says. can't seem to find anything that'll shift it other then a knife which takes forever. we've tried all sorts of methods but none have any effect.

no but not really an option as we'd need to set one up, bring one along etc just for removing this from the removable tray. hoping more for some product we can let the tray to si in for a few hours

Hi

Use harpic 100% limescale remover , £1.60 at tesco, or use their own brand which is cheaper.

let it sit for a while with some hot water and then use a toothbrush, a scourer or a screwdriver to get the really stubborn bits. If you have limescale like we do down here then you may not get it all out.

You could use acid (spirit of salts) but do this outside as the fumes are really toxic (mask, gloves please)
