I have had numerous problem areas of my shower, really thick crusts on the fitting and in the tub, of my previous tenants. The fixtures were than those already unrecognizable, because really was a real limestone top. I sprayed and sprayed with the diluted version - but since nothing happened! Then I used it pure, given on a paper towel and placed it, only then the Kalkablösung got going. And half the bottle was empty. For me the limescale with just under 20 euros is definitely too expensive !! I would have pure vinegar Esssenz! hammer out the same way and would have 80 cents paid for the bottle.
