Scale on taps not only spoils the appearance of plumbing, but can also lead to other problems.

Fighting scale on the tap is not so easy if you use ordinary cleaning products.

Therefore, it is worth remembering the method that involves using a balloon.

Which ball to use

It is important that the ball is dense and of sufficient size. If it is of poor quality, it will simply burst during inflation, which will become a serious problem in the future.

What to add inside

The easiest solution is to add soda and vinegar to the ball. If the dirt is minor, you can add one spoon of soda and vinegar, they will then mix with water.

Of course, over time, concentration can be increased, but here it is worth paying attention to the result.

How to place on the faucet

You should be careful when putting it on the tap. It is important that it fits tightly to the plaque. It takes a little practice to do it right, but it is not difficult.

Turning on the water

You need to gradually open it so that the water starts to pass through the ball.

The water pressure will help clear the scale from the inside of the tap. It should remain in this position for 5-10 minutes.

Finally, you need to carefully remove the ball and look at the result.

As a rule, you will be able to get rid of scale after the first use. However, there are “serious” contaminants that cannot be removed the first time.
