When the water evaporates, the minerals remain on the surface, creating a limescale deposit. This is a common problem in many regions, particularly those with spring water or wells, as these tend to be richer in minerals.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;30px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_id=&#8221;paragrafo-2&#8243; el_class=&#8221;row-prodotto-ambiente&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;fsize-16&#8243;]\n<h2 id=\"the-problems-caused-by-limescale-in-shower-enclosures\">The problems caused by limescale in shower enclosures<\/h2>\n<p>Limescale can cause various problems in shower enclosures. First of all, it <strong>compromises the aesthetic appearance of the surfaces<\/strong>. White, opaque limescale stains can form on glass, aluminum profiles and other shower enclosure materials, making it less attractive. Secondly, limestone <strong>can, in the long term, corrode with an irreversible process<\/strong>. This happens especially with glass, reducing the thickness of the crystal and creating unsightly specks at the foot of it (where, due to the effect of gravity, water droplets settle more frequently).[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;10px&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;33869&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; onclick=&#8221;link_image&#8221;][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;fsize-12&#8243;]Limestone becomes visible in a very short time, did you know that?[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;30px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_id=&#8221;paragrafo-3&#8243; el_class=&#8221;row-prodotto-ambiente&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;fsize-16&#8243;]\n<h2 id=\"how-to-clean-limescale-from-the-shower-enclosure\">How to clean limescale from the shower enclosure<\/h2>\n<p>To combat limescale in shower enclosures there are several more or less effective methods:[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221;][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;fsize-16&#8243;]\n<ul>\n<li><strong><u>Descaling chemicals<\/u><\/strong>: There are various chemicals available designed to remove limescale.
