QuestionWill bicarbonate of soda or baking powder alone dissolve limescale? Do I need to mix lemon juice or vinegar with the bicarbonate of soda?Community AnswerLimescale dissolves in acids such as citric acid (lemons) or acetic acid (vinegar), not in alkalis such as bicarbonate of soda or baking powder. Mixing lemon juice or vinegar with bicarb will neutralize the acid, so that won't work.
