You can breathe new life back into your -covered bathroom quickly and easily with a cheap household item. We might associate it more with barbecues and the chippy but its acidity means it's perfect for the job.

expert Manish Jain, founder of professional cleaning services, Ministry of Cleaning, revealed how you can use to keep your home limescale-free. "Limescale is not only unsightly but difficult to clean and often requires a whole lot of time as well as expensive cleaning products," he said. "That is until now, as few realise there are some household ingredients that make removing limescale from certain appliances and items quick and easy."

Squirt a generous amount of tomato sauce into your hands and rub it onto the showerhead and anywhere else you get limescale build-up. Let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing it off.

Ketchup is supposed to be the perfect product for stubborn stains, including rust, calcium build-up, and black scum stains. Because of its acidic nature, according to Jain, ketchup is a great alternative to harsh cleaning products.

People have shared the before and after pictures, which left Facebook users speechless. On the Mums Who Clean Facebook page, one user wrote: "Thanks to this group, I learnt the tomato sauce around the tap trick.

"OMG, it's amazing. Mine was terrible. Left it overnight. I just put it all around the base, left it overnight, rinsed it off and cleaned as normal. It was perfect."

Another said: "Whoever came up with the tomato sauce tap hack, you're a genius. I have tried everything, and nothing worked like this. No scrubbing, no effort. I'm blown away."

According to another popular cleaning group, ketchup could also help clean the rust off metal appliances. Mrs Hinch fans have previously raved about how well the red sauce can clean stainless steel bins.
