On close inspection of the tiled shower area, I can see quite a heavy build up of limescale of the floor tiles, in particular on the grout, probably due to 'sitting' water I guess...
What is the best method for removing this limescale without damaging the surface of the tile? I know that you shouldn't use acidic based cleaners on limestone...
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks
 
Hi, checkout LTP Online and select the correct product.

Once it's cleaned, perhaps seal it again, and then use a regular cleaner after each shower just to quickly rinse off body fats and salts which can also build up.
 
And get a water softner fitted by a plumber. Seen this problem quite a bit in hard water areas.
