is one of the most frustrating things to remove when taps and sinks.
The harder you scrape, the harder it is to remove and, often, in the process, you damage the surface you’re supposedly cleaning.

“Then I read about the 2p coin and limescale no more! I’ve done every tap in the house. Nothing has worked better or faster than this.
“I don’t know where you get your voodoo but thank you. Can you use this powerful 2p trick on anything else?”
Jane shared a before and after picture alongside the post which showed her tap previously covered in crusty yellow and green limescale next to the after results which pictured the tap more shiny and free of limescale.

Explaining how she used the 2p coin, Jane said: “Oh my word ladies it is so simple. Wet a 2p coin and rub. That’s it. It just comes off. Absolutely amazing!”

Haylee Clout said: “This is amazing, I was a bit sceptical at first but it actually works! Your taps look lovely!”
Courtney Powell wrote: “I didn’t think this would work but I rubbed a wet 2p coin around the limescale on my taps and it all came straight off.”
Fiona Calpin said: “I did mine for the first time yesterday with the 2p trick. Can’t believe it worked, I’ve tried all sorts.”
