The Silent Threat of Limescale & Damp Corners

The chalky white deposits that often form on taps and tiles are not fluoride but limescale, a buildup of calcium carbonate from hard water. When left untreated, limescale creates rough, porous surfaces that provide the perfect environment for

Biofilms; colonies of bacteria, fungi, and algae, to thrive in damp corners of bathrooms and kitchens. These biofilms can contribute to fungal infections such as athlete’s foot, persistent musty odors, and an increased indoor allergen load. Regular descaling combined with keeping surfaces clean and dry can go a long way in reducing these risks and maintaining a healthier home environment.
