Our Top 5 Products to Keep Your Shower Room Clean and Sparkling!
Did you know that around 60% of the UK has hard water? The South and East of England have the hardest water in the UK. Hard water contains high levels of calcium and magnesium salts which form an essential part of our diet. However, calcium and magnesium break down when water is heated, whether in a kettle, tap, shower, or boiler. Together, they accelerate to form limescale.
Limescale is an appliance’s worst enemy as it affects the heating elements, pumps, and interior parts that carry water. It can cause the fixtures and fittings in your shower room to break down and, in some cases, leave irreversible damage if not managed correctly. In actual fact, 90% of the reason we have to make deposit deductions (which fortunately is not very often) is due to the mismanagement of limescale.
The Rooms in Kent Team have compiled a list of tried and tested tips and products to maintain the health and lifespan of your shower room and keep them looking spic and span!
