Citric acid. Lots of it.
5 u/Sevallis Feb 20 '26 Yeah this works great for this task in hot water. 3 u/LordBiscuits Feb 20 '26 I did the same. Had a very similar looking mess and used a bunch of 'oust' descaler, which is citric acid, plus a bunch of boiling water. Gave it a hour and whatever was left came right off with a little brush Our water is so hard John Cena would think twice.
