Hard water

We live in a very hard water area. The local limestone is great for Champagne and building, but it takes its toll on everything else, including taps. And because our water is so hard, it doesn’t take long to build up. Fortunately though I’ve learnt how the locals have a good way to combat it…vinegar!

You can buy vinegar by the bucketful in the supermarché, as it tackles all kinds of household tasks that involve our hard water.

For our taps, we just sprayed them every time we visited the sink, and after a week the remnants of the build up just fell away. Voila!
