Simple step-by-step guide to descale a shower

• White vinegar (it's a natural and effective descaler)
• A plastic bag or bowl
• Rubber band or tape (if using a bag)
• A soft cloth or sponge
• An old toothbrush
• Clean water
• Shower cleaner (optional)

1. Remove the showerhead if possible. If not, you can still clean it in place.
2. Fill a plastic bag or bowl with white vinegar.
3. Immerse the showerhead in the vinegar. If the showerhead is fixed, then attach the vinegar-filled bag to the showerhead using a rubber band or tape, ensuring the holes are submerged in the vinegar.
4. Leave it to soak for at least an hour, but preferably overnight for best results.
5. Remove from the vinegar and scrub gently with the old toothbrush to get rid of any leftover scale.
6. Rinse the showerhead thoroughly with clean water and reattach it if you removed it.

1. Soak a soft cloth or sponge in white vinegar.
2. Wipe down tiles, faucets, and any glass surfaces with the vinegar-soaked cloth. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes.
3. Use the toothbrush to scrub grout lines or any stubborn scale spots.
4. Rinse everything with clean water.
5. Optional: Follow with your regular shower cleaner for a fresh scent and to remove any vinegar smell.

• To prevent rapid build-up of lime scale in the future, consider installing a water softener or a shower filter.
• Make descaling a regular part of your cleaning routine, depending on the hardness of your water.

Always make sure your bathroom is well-ventilated when cleaning. This helps in dissipating any fumes from vinegar or other cleaning products.

Remember, regular maintenance can prevent heavy build-up, making the descaling process quicker and more effective.
