Yes, Coca-Cola is great for removing limescale from taps, toilets, and other plumbing fixtures. It works best if you’re able to soak the affected area in Coke for a while so the acids in the drink have time to dissolve the lime scale. You can also use other cola-type drinks, like Pepsi, RC Cola, or Shasta Cola.

If letting it soak in vinegar or another acidic cleanser doesn’t work, you can remove some stubborn deposits by gently scrubbing them with an old toothbrush or a pumice stone. If you use pumice, be careful not to scratch up your taps or other plumbing fixtures.

Yes, a little bit of WD-40 will help soften limescale and other mineral deposits so you can wipe them away. Just give it a few minutes to work before wiping or brushing it away.
