Not only vinegar and baking soda, but with lemon the taps are like new
Having constantly clean and shiny faucets can be difficult, as they are constantly in contact with water, detergents and detergents.
To achieve this, we use several products available on the market, which often also have a certain environmental impact.
But did you know that you can clean and polish the faucets using only lemon? Yes, let’s see how to do it together!
Lemon juice
Let’s first see how to use lemon juice, which has a strong anti-lithal action. Then pour the lemon juice on a sponge and rub it gently on the taps, paying particular attention to the points where the spots are most present.
Alternatively, you can also spray the lemon juice directly on the faucet and let it act for a few hours. Finally, rinse and dry thoroughly: your taps will be free of dirt and limestone in the blink of an eye!
Lemon paste
In case of very stubborn stains, it is possible to combine lemon with another ingredient with its limescale properties: salt. In this case we advise you to mix in a bowl the lemon juice and the salt little by little until you get a sort of pasty mixture.
Then apply it under the tap and let it act a little, then rinse thoroughly and you’re done!
NB We remind you not to use this paste on delicate surfaces such as wood, as the slight abrasive action of the salt could scratch them.

Lemon can then also be used as a real natural sponge, whose degreasing properties are effective in literally melting dirt and limescale.
We therefore advise you to take half a lemon and rub it along the whole tap. Leave on for a few minutes, then rinse and use a clean, dry cloth to remove excess.
For a more effective effect you can also dip the lemon biscuit in a little baking soda or with a pinch of salt then pass it on the taps to gently remove the incrustations. Leave to act a few moments, then rinse and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
The slight abrasive action of the bicarbonate, in fact, will join the limescale power of lemon and the contact of the two ingredients will give rise to an effervescent reaction capable of thoroughly cleaning the faucet and making it bright as never before!
In addition to the faucets, you can use this sponge to clean all stainless steel surfaces that have dark spots, including the hob!
NB . We advise you to have a delicate approach and not to insist too much with the sponge. The idea, in fact, is to use it as is normally done with abrasive sponges that have the roughest part.
Lemon and vinegar
Finally, let’s see how to combine lemon with another ingredient that can clean, stain and polish: vinegar. In this case, just mix the lemon juice with a little white vinegar and pour the mixture thus obtained in a spray bottle.
