While is a great natural agent to remove deposits from the bathroom, I wanted to try a different product. To my amazement, I think I've found a product that works much more quickly and effectively than .

It is, however, a commercial cleaner, so it's not exactly the most gentle on the skin. Plus, the bottle comes along with warnings too, such as "causes serious eye irritation" and "do not breathe [in the] spray". Cleaning in a windowless bathroom, I aerated the rest of my place by opening the windows nearby.

That's when I used Viakal limescale remover that comes in a pleasant "fresh spring rose" scent.

Easily spraying the cleaning solution on the heavily soiled (detachable) shower head and the handheld shower, I left the solution to work its magic in just three minutes.

Then, rinsing the shower attachments under running water and a quick scrub with a wet cloth, the results were addictive.

I also had really bad water marks etched onto my shower glass door, so after seeing the brilliant results, I thought I might as well try it there.

And so I did; I sprayed Viakal, left it on for three minutes, rinsed it down with water from the handheld shower and wiped it clean with a cloth.

The product worked amazingly, but I did make one big mistake - I didn't wear gloves, like I should have.

And even though the whole shower area was clean in under 10 minutes, the dryness on my hands lasted for a few hours (even after washing them and moisturising my skin).

While there are risks to using commercial cleaning products, I must say that Viakal can stay.

Next time I will be wearing gloves, and I will still be opening the windows nearby to not breathe in the fumes too much.

What I am interested in, though, is how long it will take for the limescale to build up again.

Living in an extremely hard water area, limescale is a common problem in my bathroom.

So I will see if this product has somehow left a residue that helps ward off those pesky mineral deposits.
