Perhaps Caustic soda? That may be a good descaler. Where are the chemists

in the group. Is " scale " calcium Carbonate? What chemical can be used to

remove it?

[100% veg*n ] Descaler. Oh and overn cleaner.

 

 

My shower head is getting a little dried up. As well as sympathy could

anyone suggest a suitably vegan way of getting it clean? Sticking a pin in

the holes doesn't seem to do it any good and when the time comes I doubt it

is an approach that will work on the kettle.

 

For all the wonderful range of ethical household products available I

haven't seen descaler. Or oven cleaner for that matter, what should I do

if I want to clean my oven? I don't, I have a tray catching the mess from

baking potatoes, but one day I might have no choice.

Well the water's hardness varies depending on where in the country you

are. Down south the water is very hard (scale forms a lot quicker) while

here in Yorkshire it is a lot softer.

 

Vinegar sounds like a good idea, thanks.

 

And thanks to Rowan for his suggestion.

Vinegar/ lemon juice or any other acid you might have Angie

Yes it is calcium carbonate
