Harpic 100% Limescale Remover-does exactly what it says!

Advantages: does remove stains and limescale
Disadvantages: none

...As I live in a hard water area in which I live, the toilet bowl got stained with limescale and nothing I have tried in the past has worked. When walking round Tesco the other day, my partner and I decided to give this a go. It comes in a blue 750ml bottle with a red cap, so its appearance, to me, is nothing special. On the Tesco website, it costs £1.62, which I think is reasonable. The three claims that are made on the front of the bottle are as follows: 1)Attacks limescale better than bleach 2)Removes stains 3)Kills all germs In my opinion, the Harpic works well on all three counts. As most of the bottom of the bowl was covered in limescale and stains before use, and afterwards there were no stains, then it is successful in my opinion. On the killing germs part, I have no reason to doubt it, so must presume that all germs are...

Review of Harpic Limescale Remover

harpic limescale remover

Advantages: gets rid of the limescale very quickly
Disadvantages: the spout it comes out far too quickly and is easily spilt

...i have just bougt this product as i moved into a council flat and as you can imagine the toilet was covered in limescale after reading the back of the bottle i was worried about getting it on my hands and clothes i followed the instructions and found it worked amazingly i was sceptical but was proved wrong you could see the limescale come away from under the rim of the toilet its a fantastic product and i recommend it to anyone and it says on the bottle that it kills the germs and removes the limescale unlike bleach which just bleaches the limescale and thurns it white instead of removing it and i am very happy with this product there is only one thing i dont like about it and that is the spout as it comes out far to quick and is easily spilt which i nearly found out...

Review of Harpic Anti-limescale products

Removes Limescale on a Small Scale

Advantages: Looks nice, smells nice
Disadvantages: Doesn't work

...I bought this product when searching out a major brand limescale remover. The bottle was nearly identical. The claims for ability to remove limescale were about the same. The only difference was the price, about 1 pound as opposed to 1.78p. There are certain products where it is not economical to buy the cheapest as only the big brands do the job. I didn't think this applied to toilet cleaner. I was wrong. I have to admit that I have allowed the limescale to build up quite a lot in my toilet, mainly because most limescale removers are far from environmentally friendly. There comes a time when I have to concede defeat though. Sainsbury's sell a lot of own brand products. By and large they are usually just as good as their more expensive well known brand names. As this product was about half the price of it's big brand...

Review of Sainsbury Anti-limescale products

Anti Limescale for cheap on a big scale

Advantages: Cheap and functional
Disadvantages: Still leaves you with the same amount of clothes to iron...

...With two small children and a husband whose work-uniform seems to create a never-ending mountain of white shirts in our laundry basket, my washing machine is runing every day, sometimes even twice. As our budget was a little tight for a while I really found it expensive to pay about 5 £ for a small packet of Calgon Limescale tablets, especially as it never seemed to last for more then maximum two weeks. The alternatives were to stop using a limescale product and risk losing the whole machine (not a very clever option and most certainly very unhealthy for an overstretched household-budget) or find a cheaper solution. I decided to check what other products I could find. First I tried Tescos Limescale-Powder which was much cheaper, but didn't desolve so nicely and left big clumps in the drawer of my machine. So I decided to check...

Review of Lidl Anti-limescale products

Finally - my toilet glistens and shines!

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...When I first moved into my hosue, it was incredibly grotty - particularly the toilet which was full of limescale and calcium deposits . I tried everything to get rid of them , a whole barrage of cleaning products, as well as some less traditional techniques, such as leaving cola to soak it overnight . It reduced it, but I never managed to get rid of it completely, and in fact many of the products I used seemed to whiten the limescale rather than actually removing it . Then I came across Harpic 100% Limescale Remover - I figured trying out one more think on my less than lovely loo couldn't hurt . Now, the packaging makes some pretty bold claims . It promises to remove 100 % of limescale, kill all germs, clean better than bleach on limescale and to give Maximum bowl coverage It comes in a blue 750ml bottle with a red cap, which...

Review of Harpic Limescale Remover

The first limescale remover which smells good

Advantages: Smells good, cleans the bathroom, easy to use
Disadvantages: It is not the strongest limescale remover on the market

...contoured with silver line and twinkles the end of this label. There is a red Bathroom sign on it as well, then the functions of this cleanser: limescale; soapscum; stubborn dirt. Easy rinse formula. The label and the white bottle with thick white liquid in it were quite attracting, so I put it in my basket and tried it later in the afternoon. I usually clean the bathroom when my kids are sleeping or are away with their father. How to use it First I opened the bottle by turning the cap on then I sprayed everywhere where it was needed (shower enclosure, shower tray, basin, taps, etc.) It has a very pleasant smell compared to the other limescale removers. It is very easy to spray on the different surfaces. The spray function of the bottle works very well, I remained clean and I could spray it exactly where I wanted. By the time I finished...

Review of Cif Power Cream Bathroom Spray

Finish with Grease, Germs, and Limescale For Good!

Advantages: Degreases, de limescales, and sanitises dishwashers improving sanitariness and performance
Disadvantages: cost, and dishwasher has to be ran empty

...I have a dishwasher. I HATE handwashing dishes, and dishwashers use less water and soap and energy tthan handwashing as well as kill more germs with the heat.Washing the dishes with the machine is simple. I scrape the plates (would have to if handwashing as well), load in the machine, put my detergent in, and switch it on. Easy peasy and at the end I have gleaming plates, bowls, cups, glassware, cutlery, and pots and pans. But owning a thing means some care and maintenance needs to be taken. In this case, the machine needs the filter degreased and any limescale that has made it past the salts removed. This not only prolongs the life of the machine, but helps it clean your dishes better. Enter Finish Dishwasher Cleaner. This little bottle of citrusy wonders may seem quite pricey at £3.50, but compared to the cost of replacing...

Review of Finish Dishwasher Cleaner

Will this vaporise my limescale?

Advantages: Keeps limescale down
Disadvantages: Price

...stuff coming out of it, now I always did use filtered water in my steam iron as normal tap water caused the lime scale build up to be very bad but I have noticed that even with filtered water it still does build up. So the other half descaled the iron with lots of moaning under his breath! He then decided that drastic action was needed and on a shopping trip he came back with this product, so was this the answer? PRODUCT STATEMENT Comfort vaporesse is a perfumed ironing water that makes ironing easier, it contains fibre moisturisers that help the steam to smooth away creases, infuses your clothes with a long lasting freshness and protects your iron from limescale and can help prolong the life of your iron.

Review of Comfort Vaporesse

FIZZY BOTTOM ACTION THAT DOESN'T SMELL BAD

Advantages: Easy to use, convenient
Disadvantages: Caution required around children

...Where I live, the water is approximately 96% limescale. OK – that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but I think you know what I’m trying to say. One of the places that this problem manifests itself most is in my toilets. Although I use limescale removing toilet blocks in the cisterns, such is the limescale content of the water round here that the surface of the bowl underneath the water level gets heavily coated with a thick layer of the stuff. Having stared down into this once too often, I resolved to do something about it, and scoured the supermarket aisles for something that could solve the problem. The Product Parozone Fizz Tabs are essentially small tablets of acidic salts that react with the alkaline limescale deposit. The resulting reaction breaks down the limescale, without damaging whatever...
