Taps and showerheads
I'm doing the taps and showerhead today getting rid of some limescale. Just thought I'd share this.
Soak a rags in white vinegar and wrap round your taps, making sure that the area is saturated. Cover with a plastic bag and tie up. After a few hours, you will be able to wash the limescale off. I add some lemon juice to the vinegar for a nice smell.
Spray cleaner
Just a warning - this isn't good for marble or granite surfaces. Use a water and soap mix instead for
marble. For granite, take a look here.
What you need:
230ml white vinegar
230ml boiled water left to cool
1 lemon
A few sprigs thyme (fresh better but depends what you have in!) or rosemary
If you have it: about 10-15 drops of essential oil (e.g. lavender, lemon - optional!)
Instructions:

Instructions:
- Infuse the vinegar in a large jam jar or similar (with lid on) with the thyme and lemon peel (save the juice). Leave at least overnight but best if left for a few days.
- The next day, add the lemon juice (strained). You can also add the oil (if using)
- Put into an old spray bottle!
