IF you’ve ever looked at your lime-scaled, dull taps and thought they were beyond saving, think again.
Cleaning fan Chelsi Pattinson Que has shared her simple, step-by-step method for – and it’s been a hit on TikTok.
Posting to her TikTok page ‘ccscleaningandlife,’ Chelsi demonstrated exactly how she transformed her taps with a bit of TLC and some budget-friendly products.
She kicked off the video by recommending a two-step process: first, using a glass scraper to remove thick lime scale, followed by a generous application of lime scale remover.
Chelsi revealed her current go-to product is Tesco lime scale remover, priced at just £1.50.
Praising its effectiveness and mild scent, she said it’s a great alternative to stronger-smelling options like Vikal, which she finds overwhelming.
After applying the remover, she works it in with a non-abrasive pad, rinsing thoroughly to reveal any spots that need extra attention.
But Chelsi doesn’t stop there.
Spotting some mould behind a tile, she seized the opportunity to deep-clean the entire bath area.
Armed with bleach, cream cleaner, and plenty of elbow grease, she went over her work two or three times to ensure everything was spotless.
To finish, Chelsi buffed the taps with a dry microfibre cloth and added a final touch of Astonish window cleaner, available for £1 on Amazon, to achieve a crystal-clear shine.
While she admitted some pre-existing damage to the taps couldn’t be reversed, she proudly showcased her results, saying: “All lovely, shiny. Job done.”;
The video quickly gained traction, racking up 44.2K views, 820 likes, and 32 comments within a day of being posted.
Fans of Chelsi’s cleaning tips were quick to agree with her product recommendations, with one commenter saying: “Yesss Tesco limescale remover is the s***.”;
Another added: “Tesco and Sainsbury’s lime scale remover I’m sure are both great! M&S one is also great!”;
Meanwhile, a third simply remarked: “Looks so much better.”;
