However, rather than spending hours scrubbing your sink, Wilko is selling a £1.50 product that promises to do a better job in minutes, and professional cleaners are raving about it.
Viakal limescale remover is the the magical cleaning product that has captured the attention of cleanfluencers from Mrs Hinch to The Twinkle Cleaning duo.
Professional cleaners, Natalie and Katrina, who set up the Instagram page The Twinkle Cleaning Duo, showed how effective the product was in a video on their feed. The video follows as they get a limescale coated sink gleaming again in record time with no scrubbing.
'Unfortunately, limescale is a huge issue in homes! Especially if you live in a hard water area,' the duo writes in the caption. 'Viakal is absolutely brilliant at removing limescale & is a must-have product for ourselves.'

'I have tried so many limescale removers over the years and this is the best one ever. Yes it has a stronger smell to it, but I don't care about that as it is absolutely brilliant,' wrote another.
