Title: Best limescale remover?
Post by: ftp on April 30, 2009, 07:14:22 pm: Customer with holiday lets kindly re-turfed the area outside and left a sprinkler on day and night with tds around 300.
Windows are wrecked. I sprayed them with a limescale remover first but as the lets were occupied I haven't had the chance to get up close and personal with the glass.
What's the strongest, fastest limescale remover you have used?

I spray it on and leave it to soak for a couple of minutes then a quick scrub with the mop (dryish) then wash off

Post by: dai on May 14, 2009, 10:40:37 pm: Masonery cleaner will shift almost anything, but great care needs to be taken when using it, rubber gloves and eye protection is a must. I have used this to remove thick lime deposits from the bottom of my fibre glass boat, it was left too long on the mooring, and mussels had grown on it.
