In addition, the bathroom area is always wet and humid, accelerating the formation of limescale, so it needs to be cleaned regularly.

Basically, a mixture of dish soap, bleach, and hot water is an effective solution to eradicate limescale on bathroom walls and floors because each component has a specific function that works together to solve the problem. Dish soap contains strong surfactants, which are chemical compounds that can reduce the surface tension of water and help dissolve dirt and oil. These surfactants help loosen and lift soap residue and dirt that sticks to walls and floors.
Meanwhile, laundry bleach, which generally contains sodium hypochlorite, is a very effective oxidizing agent in killing bacteria, mold, and mildew that often grow in bathroom environments. In addition to its disinfectant properties, bleach is also able to break down and dissolve hard minerals that form scale, such as calcium and magnesium. Thus, bleach not only cleans but also sterilizes bathroom surfaces.
On the other hand, hot water plays a vital role in the cleaning process by helping to dissolve and loosen hardened crust and grime. The heat from the water increases the effectiveness of dish soap and bleach by speeding up the chemical reactions involved. In addition, hot water helps to dissolve soap scum and grime faster, making it easier to clean.
