Limescale in the bathroom is not only an aesthetic problem, but also an indicator that the surfaces are no longer protected and are becoming susceptible to permanent damage.

But over time, something less pleasant begins to accumulate on its surface: a greasy film formed by steam, oil droplets and dust. Although it does not seem dirty at first glance, we quickly feel a sticky layer under our fingers, which only gets stronger with time.
A clogged drain is one of those nuisances that always catches us off guard – usually when we have the least time and the most dirty dishes.
