GETTING rid of limescale is one of those annoying tasks that's easy to put off.
But it doesn't have to be such a chore.
One cleaning whizz shared the clever way she banishes limescale from any surface so you don't have to spend ages scrubbing - and it's so easy to do.
Aurikatariina is a professional cleaner who often takes on mammoth cleaning projects for other people, sharing tips and tricks along the way.
Her recent hack makes removing lime scale a breeze - all you need is some cling film, a sponge and your favourite bathroom cleaner.
"Lime scale dissolves slowly, that's why you can't just spray detergent, scrub it and wipe it off," the pro explained.
Taking the time it let it "affect" is the best way to get it clean.
But if you're trying to get rid of limescale on a surface that's not horizontal that can be tricky, since the products will slide off.
That's where the cling film comes in - just coat the limescale in the bathroom cleaner and then cover in cling film.
"This method will keep the product in it's place," she explained.
After one or two hours, remove the cling film and wipe away the product, then rinse and squeegee off any leftover liquid.
If you don't have any cling film to hand, you could also use kitchen roll soaked in bathroom cleaner.
And if you remove the cling film or kitchen roll carefully it can be reused on other places with limescale.
Other cleaning fans loved the simple trick and couldn't wait to give it ago.
One commented: "No wonder my limescale is so hard to get rid of lol."
And a second wrote: "Oh wow you're a genius!! Love this!"
