Forget the plastic bag! With this affordable part of Tchibo, the descaling of the tap is much easier.
I love Cologne - but what I don't love so much? The hard water here. I felt felt like my kettle every other day, so much lime settles. And it is no different with the taps. However, I usually only notice that really thick limestone deposits have formed at the run. And removing them is a real challenge: you can hardly get there with sponge or brush, and these nasty white crusts sit bombproof.
That is why many swear by the good old freezer bag: fill a plastic bag with vinegar or descaler, punch over the tap and attach it with a rubber band. Works - to be honest, it is quite a fumbling. Often the vinegar runs out on the sides that slips or tears the bag, and honestly: Who can pick up the used plastic bag every time? Even.
This is exactly where a small, but rather brilliant gadget from Tchibo comes into play:The faucet discount attachment*.
Bye-bye, lime! This remains your tap clean
For just 5.99 euros, you will receive a clever silicone solution with which the tap detection is child's play. Simply fill it with household vinegar or liquid detacheer, put it over the rooster and let it take effect.
No tool necessary, no handling around with plastic bags, no vinegar-clockwork. Then simply lose weight, rinse and reuse the next time, because the gadget is suitable for most standard water taps (diameter 17.5 to 24.5 mm).

Why is the gadget worthwhile?
Honestly, the plastic bag trick is practical, but anything but sustainable. The bags end up in the trash after once use, rubber bands quickly break - and the whole thing is simply bulky. TheTchibo attachment* From a flexible silicone, on the other hand, you can use it again and again, save garbage and is much more comfortable. No vinegar expires, the part is bombproof, and you can easily rinse and stow it after each use.
If you have particularly stubborn deposits, you can also unscrew the pearlator, i.e. the small sieve at the water outlet, and insert it into vinegar or descaler. Often there is a lot of lime here that can affect the water flow. After soaking, simply clean, rinse and screw it on again. So the water gets through freely again - and your tap looks like new.
