The former head royal housekeeper for King Charles’s Sandringham Estate has shared a cleaning hack used at the royal premises to help remove crusty limescale. Barbara Allred who worked at Sandringham Estate for a decade, also claims it costs as little as 10p and can remove limescale in seconds.
The former royal admitted to the Daily Mail: “When you’re working for the top, standards have to be 110 per cent, not just 100 per cent.” To work wonders of chrome taps, Barbara has a genius hack which is easy for everyone to replicate at home.
The expert advises that you make a paste of 2 tbsp salt and 1 tsp white distilled vinegar. Then, you apply it to a cleaning product, such as a toothbrush or cotton bud.
Barbara also revealed other cleaning hacks for instance, how you should have cleaning equipment that is dedicated just for the toilet, including rubber gloves and a sponge.
First clean under the rim of the bowl and use a limescale product, but be careful because bleach can damage porcelain.
To remove any mould in bathrooms, you should make another paste – this time of equal parts of baking powder and lemon juice. But leave this mixture on for two hours and then rinse off.
Meanwhile, if you have ever wondered in the bathrooms, whether toilet paper should roll from the front or the back, Barbara cleared up the debate once and for all and explained toilet paper should roll from the front.
As a finishing touch, the housekeeper would fold the end into a point.
