A CLEANING professional has revealed her “holy grail” product for banishing limescale.
The best part of her life hack is that the product can be purchased via Walmart for 9 cents.
Facebook user Susan Harris revealed her cleaning hack via the Hinch Army Cleaning Tips page, per Express.
“So many people ask about cleaning cloudy stained shower screens. I’m a cleaner and never stop learning methods,” she wrote.
Susan has found a way to make the limescale “stains vanish every time.”
Dictionary.com defines limescale as “a flaky deposit left in containers such as kettles by the action of heat on water containing calcium salts.”
Susan only needs one ingredient to remove the scale.
“I use a wet magic sponge (my holy grail!), wipe down with a wet microfibre cloth, and buff to a shine with a glass cloth,” she said.
A 100-pack of magic erasers can be purchased via Walmart’s website for less than $9. That equals less than 9 cents for each magic eraser.
In the comments section, some people wanted to know if they needed to spray water on the glass.
“Not a thing!” Susan answered, per Express. “A toothbrush is handy round fixings though.”
So why can magic erasers remove limescale?
They are made with a material called melamine foam, according to How Stuff Works.
When water is added to it, melamine foam can destroy stains in a way that others cannot.
Melamine foam has been around for more than 20 years, according to HSW, and has multiple uses.
It can be used as insulation to reduce noise and to insulate hot and cold temperatures.
