Simple 2p cleaning hack that can make your taps look sparkling new

Taps can so easily become covered in limescale and it can be an arduous task to remove it.

But before you go and buy new fittings, one woman has found an i ncredible hack that 'costs' just 2p.

Taking to Mrs Hinch Army Cleaning Tips Facebook page , the woman recommended using the copper coin to do the work for you.

She said all you do is take the 2p and scrape away the grime.

According to the Daily Star , the woman wrote on Facebook: “The 2p tip completely works – and not much hassle.

“To remove just literally scrape the tap with the 2p and it comes right off!”

She added: “As people have said, literally get a 2p and scrape your tap. It will chip off!

“Then I’ve wiped with a dry kitchen towel.”

The cleaning hack definitely worked its magic in this instance.

As you can see by the Facebook user’s before and after snaps, the taps were left gleaming.

The Mrs Hinch fan wasn’t the only one to rave about the household tip.

Others responded to the post – and said the 2p trick worked for them too.

One Facebook user said: “I have just tried this on my taps and omg.

“Why did I never think to do this?! Thank you.”

Another wrote: “It’s so easy. I’ve been trying to get mine cleaned for weeks then 10 minutes with a 2p coin and it all came off.”

And a third added: “This 2p trick saved my sanity.”
