Households can’t argue that nothing ruins a good cup of tea more than getting to the end, only to find that it’s filled with flaky bits of limescale.
These calcium deposits are the number one to clean a kettle regularly, as not only is limescale detrimental to a beverage-drinking experience, but if left too long, it can also shorten the lifespan of a kettle,
What’s more, working with a caked-up kettle uses more energy in order to reach boiling point.
Limescale is the chalky, scummy residue that lingers on shower screens, shower heads, drinking glasses and taps.
It is most problematic, however, in the toilet and this is because it sees a lot of use and constantly has still water sitting inside it, which is the perfect environment for limescale to thrive.

Some researchers are increasingly convinced they will not be able to remove hallucinations from artificial intelligence (AI) models, which remain a considerable hurdle for large-scale public acceptance.
“We currently do not understand a lot of the black box nature of how machine learning comes to its conclusions,” Kevin Kane, CEO of quantum encryption company American Binary, told Fox News Digital. “Under the current approach to walking this path of AI, it’s not clear how we would do that.

Even if households carefully sort out their laundry by colour to prevent fabric dyes from bleeding onto other items, some discolouration is almost inevitable.
Sweat, dirt stains and too-frequent washing can make perfectly clean whites appear faded.
Instead of reaching for a bottle of bleach, households can typically brighten whites and remove stains with a few natural kitchen staples.
