How I solved the halo problem
Citric acid is a very powerful natural remedy and could even be aggressive, which is why for example I never fail to use gloves when cleaning. You know when you feel like lemon juice on your chapped hands and it feels a little stinging? The same happens with citric acid.
After a series of tests, I realized that the recommended dose was too “concentrated” and, although it was fine for other uses in the home, it was not the right amount for taps.
When you use citric acid at home, always do small tests, and preferably in a hidden corner to avoid damaging the surfaces.
So the solution was to make small changes to both the doses and the cleaning steps:
in 1 liter of water, instead of using 150 grams of citric acid I decided to use 100 grams
I sprayed the solution on the taps, leaving it to act for just a few seconds, then I wiped it with a cloth soaked in water only.
I rinsed the cloth well, giving it another pass
I finally dried with a cotton cloth.
At the end of the cleaning, I washed the rag I used on the taps well, so as not to have any residue of citric acid.
