Limescale is calcium carbonate, which has an alkaline pH. You need something acidic to remove limescale. White vinegar is one of the best ways to remove limescale from glasses. Bleach isn't a good option because it is also alkaline.

Removing Limescale From Glass
2016-10-13 11:19:53 · answer #2 · answered by ? 4 · 0⤊ 0⤋
I fill glass with hot water and pop a sterident tablet in (denture cleaning tabs) - leave overnight and then wash as normal the next morning - gleaming!
Alternatively in the dishwasher, cut a lemon in half and pop it in the top tray when washing glasses - they come out sparkling.

What's 'limescale'? Supermarkets sell stuff to combat it here in Scotland, where it just doesn't exist. So who the hell buys it?

distilled water , Fill the glass with the water and you must leave it like this for 1 week , yes a long time. Then use a soft toothbrush to remove the crust it leaves be-hind

Half fill with vinegar (any type will do) and then fill to the top with water. Leave for a few hours. It will just wipe away. This is how I keep the showers heads looking new.

I used to work as a bartender in college and the city I worked in had hard water.
We had three tubs for washing glasses: wash, limeaway and rinse.
Worked like a champ. But just get the classic limeaway and not the clr limeaway as that has more chemicals you don't need!

Use Lime Away. Soak them in Lime Away .... then wash them very well. Use gloves when using Lime Away.
***Lime scale is a by product of water purification. In America we get lots of lime and other chemicals via our tap water. If you hold a glass of water up to the light... you see 'white floaters' in it........ also known as ........ Lime Scale or Hard Water.

Try straight vinegar, if that doesn't work try making a paste of baking soda and vinegar and gently scrubbing them. Good luck!;)
