With the old candle trick, limescale will remain just a distant memory

However, there is an unusual but effective remedy to combat limescale: candle wax.

First of all, it is important to understand how candle wax works to counteract this formation. The wax creates a thin, protective film on the surfaces of the taps, preventing the build-up of limescale deposits. This layer of protection also makes subsequent cleaning easier, reducing the effort required to remove limescale.

Ancient candle trick

To apply the wax, light an unscented white candle and let it burn for a few minutes to obtain a small amount of melted wax. Then, we blow out the candle and wait for the wax to cool slightly, but without solidifying completely. At this point, we gently rub the wax on the surface of the tap, completely covering all the affected parts.

After applying the wax to the taps, let it solidify completely. The wax will form a thin, transparent film on the surface of the taps, offering protection against the formation of limescale.
