The latest hack involves keeping a soap-dispending sponge, usually used for washing up, in your shower so you can scrub down your tiles or shower screen whenever you're in there having a wash.

Instead of putting in dish liquid, you can add cleaner. Or, as one TikTok cleaner suggests, adding and dish soap together will create your own scum-busting solution.

Rather than having to set time aside to clean your - and end up getting wet in the process - you can just grab the sponge while you're already having your daily shower and give your screen a polish. When you're done, you can wash off the soap with the shower head and use a squeegee to remove the excess water.

your shower when you're in there will allow you to do it more often, as it won't take any extra time out of your day. users loved the convenience and the fact that instead of a big clean every week, this method allows you to clean little and often and stay on top of limescale build-up.

One user commented on a video showing the hack: "This is such a great hack, I do this all the time." Another wrote: "Why have I not thought of this?" While a third said the tip was "such a gamechanger".

Limescale can also affect your shower head - which can be difficult to clean. To rid your shower head of limescale build-up, you will first need to remove it; most modern shower heads should simply screw off. Then, place it in a plastic container and apply a paste of baking soda and water mixed together.

Leave the paste on for 30 minutes. This should be enough time for it to break down the limescale deposits. Then, scrub away any excess dirt and grime using a toothbrush before washing thoroughly in warm water.

Use a soft cloth to polish the head, and after reattaching it, make sure to run the shower for at least 30 seconds before using it - which will help to flush out any residual limescale.

According to Victorian Plumbing, to keep your shower head limescale-free, you should wipe it dry with a small towel a few seconds after use. They also suggest removing the shower head once a month to rinse away limescale on the inside.

Another bathroom TikTok hack that users have raved about involves filling your sink with water and adding denture tablets.

These will dissolve and help to whiten your sink without scrubbing. Then, as the water drains away, it will deodorise the drain.
