Clever 1p coin cleaning hack that removes grotty limescale from taps

Limescale is one of the biggest burdens in the bathroom and it takes some a lot of elbow grease to get rid of.

Forget splashing out on heavy duty products to remove stubborn marks, as this simple life hack is a game-changer.

One woman has revealed how you can remove grotty limescale from taps using just a 1p coin.

Mrs Hinch fan Kirsty Kearney took to Tik Tok to unveil her very own cleaning method - and it really does work.

She posted a clip of the state of her brass taps when she moved into her new home.

The previous owner had neglected to clean it and the tap was encrusted in a thick layer of blackened limescale.

Kirsty said: "They are awful. Embarrassingly awful.

"I tried all the different lotions and potions and all the different chemicals and I thought they were beyond saving."

In a last ditch attempt to salvage the tap, Kirsty decided to give the 1p trick a go.

She explained: "Tonight however, I thought I'd give the magic 2p trick. BOOM."

Posting a clip of her sparkling clean tap, Kirsty revealed she just chipped away at the limescale with a 1p coin.

The good news is she didn't need to use a single product to achieve the amazing results.

Kirsty's video left her followers stunned and desperate to try out the new hack.

"Cleaning is well cheap," one wrote. "Well done!"

Another asked: "Wait so you just scrapped it off??"

A third said: "It worked!"
