Calgon is well known for its limescale prevention products, and this gel cleaner is a great option for those who’ve experienced the tablet version not fully breaking down during a wash cycle. The three-in-one gel cleaner combats bad odours, residue and limescale build-up and, most importantly, it softens hard water, preventing limescale from forming in the first place. Make a paste of three parts bicarbonate of soda to one part water, then apply it to the affected area. Let the paste dry, then rub the treated area with a brush until both the bicarbonate of soda and the limescale lift away.

Limescale is a nasty eyesore that, despite its appearance and texture, is actually fairly easy to clean up with just a little know-how. Oust sachets are very easy to use – each one is exactly one dose. Just boil your kettle, add Oust and wait for 10 minutes. Then make sure you reboil the kettle with fresh water and you’re good to go. Commercial limescale removers, such as those listed here from brands like Cillit Bang, HG and Viakal are an incredibly easy solution to this common problem.
