To my surprise this actually works. My rubbish bathroom fitter fitted my taps too close to the wall so it goes black where hard to clean. You can get some browny points with the missus if you follow what the clip says. It really works well.

It's housework, who else do you think is going to do it.

btw, the best cleaner for removing limescale in showers & baths is harpic toilet cleaner. However, don't leave it on too long otherwise it'll leave a mark.

You don't need all that farting about. HG mould spray will shift it easily

thing is you aint shelling out for fancy sprays and likely to have bleach and tissue paper already. it took me literally 2 minutes and results were perfect. job done.

I think that’s a bit extreme

Just don’t have a shower/bath

I book a room in a quality hotel when I need to wash so I don't have look at mould. Consequently I sold my shower on eBay which subsidised my first reservation.
