A LIFE-HACK social media star has discovered a new way of keeping taps from developing limescale and all you need is a candle and cloth.
Andre, who goes by the username anderlifehack, uses his TikTok platform to find useful tips and tricks before testing them out himself.
But when he found a clip of someone using a yellow straw-like piece of candle wax on their taps, he appeared dumbfounded.
He immediately set out to test the idea himself in a bid to see if it produced the same results.
Taking a large white candlestick, he set about rubbing it all over the top of his sink tap, making sure to coat the entire surface before taking a cloth to spread it around.
After wiping it down to be streak free, he then turned the tap on and placed some water over it.

Instead of collecting on top like it would normally, the water ran straight off – proving that the hack works and you can keep your taps free of limescale for longer.
“Candle makes your clean tap last longer,” he wrote in the caption with a smiling emoji with sunglasses.
Fans were left equally impressed with the tip and flocked to the comments to share their thoughts.
“Off to candle my taps,” one person joked as another praised: “You are changing my like one tiktok at a time.”
