Product Information

It also contains a ‘freshness booster’, which is described as a natural fragrance with Tangerine & Lime Blossom essential oils (although the front of the bottle states that the fragrance is Tangerine & Orange Blossom…🤔) Limescale on loos can be tough to clean, but Harpic Power Plus can effortlessly remove limescale, hard watermarks, stubborn stains, rust and strong odours as well as 99.9% of germs. Not only is this versatile paste budget-friendly, but it also uses 99% natural ingredients, is non-toxic and suitable for vegans. However, you need to be careful when applying this formula to glass, plastic, ceramic, acrylic, steel and ceramic hobs as it may scratch the surface if you apply too much pressure. We recommend you do a patch test first.

The gel formula also means it clings to hard surfaces, allowing it to get to work without gravity sabotaging its best efforts. It’s ideal for tiles, shower heads and shower trays, and is safe to use on all ceramic and plastic sanitaryware. But make sure you follow the instructions and keep it away from marble and chrome plating as it’s very strong. You expect a product that says it will remove limescale to do just that and in all of our tests it did do a very good job. Significant build up of limescale will require a few treatments to get rid of it altogether but I think any non-naturally derived product would be the same.
