Limescale is an unsightly substance found around faucets, shower doors, kettles and coffee makers.
Although relatively harmless, scale can be difficult to remove from surfaces and appliances, but can cause damage if left.
One of the most common places to find limescale is in faucets. Faucets can be especially tricky to remove because certain chemicals can damage them.
Facebook user Bev Franklin posted her advice on how to remove limescale from faucets without harsh chemicals in the “Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips” group.
He said: “I love this group. [I was] convinced I needed new bathroom faucets after trying everything to remove limescale.
“I followed your advice lovely ladies 30 seconds later and after using a 1p coin my Hana are as good as new… very happy.”
It seems Bev wasn’t the only fan of Mrs Hinch to use the nifty hack. Others share their method of using an unusual object to remove limescale.
Kim McQuinn said: “Two pence, knock it off. It’s amazing.”
Karen Poole agreed, writing: “Just rub a wet 2p coin on the limestone and it just falls off.”
Meanwhile, Rebecca Jackson explained exactly how to use the method to descale faucets.
He explained: “Take a wet 1p or 2p coin and rub in a circular motion and the lime layer will just fall off.”
Copper coins cause a chemical reaction between copper and calcium, which helps break down limescale.
Other methods for removing limescale from faucets include using white vinegar, Viakal and lemon juice.
