The mixture should start to foam. Let it act and then clean and flush. It is important to let it act for a sufficiently long time. - How limescale forms
Limescale is a mineral deposit that forms due to long-term exposure to hard water with a high calcium and magnesium content. It most often appears in kettles, powders, faucets, or toilets. Its formation is supported by constant humidity and temperature. It is not only an aesthetic problem, as it can restrict the flow of water. - Other tips
Apply the baking soda with a sponge or an old toothbrush to the areas where the stone is most deposited. Also leave enough time for it to work, because the deposits need time to soften. Never mix baking soda or vinegar with other cleaning agents. Especially avoid combining it with bleach. Use rubber gloves when cleaning. You can add a few drops of essential oil for fragrance.
