A professional cleaner with 17 years of experience has shared a two-step method for removing limescale from shower screens using products from Home Bargains. The key item is the Kilrock The One That Works bathroom spray, priced at £1.99, which the cleaner describes as a 'must-have' that 'really really does work'.
Professional Cleaner's Method
Charmaine, who posts cleaning tips on TikTok under the handle @charmaineallen87, demonstrated her technique in a viral video. She explained that shower screens can be difficult to clean without the right products, and her method involves two Home Bargains purchases. The first step is applying the Kilrock spray, which she leaves to soak for 20 minutes before rinsing. She then resprays and wipes with a cloth. The second step uses Elbow Grease Glass Cleaner, costing 99p, to buff the glass to a shine.
Product Details and Effectiveness
Charmaine emphasised the product's effectiveness, noting that it smells like lemon and often sells out quickly. 'It takes the hard work out of any shower clean,' she said. The Kilrock spray is designed to dissolve limescale, soap scum, and grime, making it suitable for regular use to maintain shower screen hygiene.
Alternative Natural Cleaning Method
For those preferring natural alternatives, many commenters on Charmaine's video recommended using white distilled vinegar. Vinegar contains acetic acid, which dissolves dirt, grease, and grime, and kills bacteria. White distilled vinegar has about 5% acidity, matching many store-bought cleaners, and does not leave stains. It is an eco-friendly and cost-effective option for cleaning shower screens.
