If you're fed up of seeing a build up of hard water and limescale on your shower head then this hack will answer all your prayers.

All you need to get rid of stubborn limescale is a sandwich bag, white vinegar and a hairband/elastic band.

To start with, fill the sandwich bag with white vinegar, then simply secure it to the head of the shower with a hairband or elastic band.

Leave it on for a minimum of two hours or overnight and the vinegar will magically give it a deep clean and descale the head with minimum effort needed from you.

The vinegar breaks down the limescale making it incredibly easy to wipe off.

If you find the limescale is a bit too stubborn, you can also add a small amount of baking soda, which will create a chemical reaction and fizz for an extra deep clean.

Not only can a sandwich bag and vinegar help with your shower head, it can also remove any limescale from hand washing taps too.

Follow the exact same process and your taps will look brand spanking new.

If you have limescale in pesky hard to reach places and a sandwich bag just can't do the job don't worry, you still don't have to spend hours scrubbing.

For the body of the tap or a shower hose, simply take some strong kitchen towels and soak them in vinegar says Erin from .

For smaller grooves, use a toothpick after removing the towels to get the gunk out of there.
