Gold Bathroom Fittings

Answer 3

Ah, now here's the thing...gold is inert, and imune to limescale.
The scale has either formed on the clear laquer pained on fittings, in which case remove gently, or the scale has found microscopic cracks in the gold plate, and developed them, eating into the base metal underneath the plate. Scrubbing will expose the base metal more.
Usually, good gold plated taps are brass underneath, so you should assume a wear in the plate has occured, and look at how to clean regular brass, and with care the base and gold should blend with polishing, and now you have antique gold taps!
