soak a rag in vinegar and drape it around the tap. The vinegar will get rid of the lime scale.

Use a limescale remover, sold in most supermarkets.
May need a couple of applications if it's thick.
Some people use vinegar but I've not found it that effective.
Remember If you have it on your taps it's in your kettle yes.
Also your heating system and washing machine. Likely
to cause premature failure of all of these, consider having
a water softener fitted. Central heating systems can have
Furnox added to them to reduce limescale and sludge.

Hello There!
Use a solution of Vinegar and Baking Soda. If you can, put it on a rag or some kind of cup to hold it on the taps and faucet for a few minutes. Your taps will shine like new.

Squirt Viakal on the deposits, leave for ten mins then give them a scrub with an old toothbrush. Lots of scale might mean a few goes.

As the other posters said, vinegar and baking soda. If the build up is heavy you may need to scrub it with an old toothbrush.
