Compared Viakal and Flash bathroom cleaners to remove limescale - clear winner - AOL

AOL compares two limescale removers—Viakal Classic Limescale Remover Spray and Flash Deep Clean and Hygiene Anti-Bac Bathroom Cleaner—after noticing heavy buildup on bathroom taps. The reviewer bought Viakal from Asda for £2.65 and applied one spray to each tap, leaving it for three minutes as instructed, then rinsing and scrubbing. Despite waiting the maximum time, substantial limescale remained, requiring additional effort that wasn’t repeated for fairness. Flash cost £2.44 at Asda, and its instructions called for a five-minute dwell time. After wiping and rinsing, most limescale had lifted. The piece concludes Flash performed better and is slightly cheaper, also claiming removal of soap scum and 99.9% of bacteria.
