Had a few questions to post today but @Bee's Knees beat me to it with one of the questions

The other question I had was, what is the best way to get rid of limescale from in between the bathroom tiles? I give them a scrub when cleaning the bathroom but the grout is getting very discoloured and its annoying me! I am in the midst of major clearing/cleaning mode and we are working our way through the house and getting rid of all the rubbish we have accumulated and trying to give everywhere a really good scrub down, but this is the only thing that I can't find a solution too!!

Natural or chemical solutions very welcome, just want to get rid of the limescale so that my bathroom looks lovely and clean again

Watching with interest as we have the same problem. We use Viakal shower cleaner on the glass, but it doesn't seem to work as well on the grout for some reason.

Its so annoying isn't it I have tried loads of things but its not shifting. Hopefully some domestic goddess will be along with the answer soon

This is brilliant for the whole shower/bathroom area. My cleaner said she had never come across such a good product for limescale/water marks

Thanks Caroline, thats cheap too so definitely worth a try

Viakal Limescale Remover is good stuff. There's a new one they've not long launches that has a water repellant built into it too, so not only does it remove limescale, it stops it from building up so quickly again as well.
Smells lovely too Bit like Dove original, so leaves your bathroom smelling fab & not too chemically, like some of them (Cillit Bang Lime & Grime for example - which also works well, just doesn't smell as nice... )

Thanks for that Liz, shall look out for it when I go shopping! Like you say cilit bang works ok but has such a strong smell an always makes my skin really dry if I forget to wear gloves

I use bleach & give it a good scrub with wire wool & it comes up really nicely.

Bleach is good, but it doesn't always shift the limescale, it just bleaches the colour. Scrubbing with a toothbrush or stiff nail brush is good. Will check out the ones linked too, because I've not found anything tha I think really works so far...
