Descaling Gel ?

[zero]

I may be mad but . . .

Is there something equivelant to descaler you use in kettles to use on surfaces where liquid would run - hence a gel or similar ?

thanks

Yup.Kilrock Gel, you should be able to get it at a good 'old fashioned' ironmonger if you have one near you, otherwise google for kilrock. They do (or did) mail order.

Fernox do a paste in a tub as well....

Do these sort of things contain a corrosion inhibitor? My wife used kettle descaler on chrome bathroom fittings, which then severely pitted and had to be replaced. Has anyone else had problems like that?

Perhaps I should get a magnetic descaler (ducks quickly)

Also LimeLite gel, available in the cleaning materials section of my local Tesco. It is not a thick gel so runs a little.

Hope they have it, my local one is pretty unreliable about actually having advertised stock on the shelves.

Superdrug do an own brand viscous liquid limescale remover. Works quite well, cheaper than any other brands that I had seen.
