How to use vinegar to get rid of limescale
All you need to do is pour equal amounts of vinegar and warm water into an empty spray bottle, and then spray a generous amount on your shower screen.
Let the solution drip down the glass and leave it alone without touching it for at least five minutes.
Once the time is up, wipe your shower glass and the limescale should easily come away.
Rinse the glass with clean water, then dry it with a cloth and your shower screen door should be sparkling clean.
In the future, wipe your shower screen after every shower to prevent limescale build up and also open a window to stop any condensation appearing on the glass as well.
