I'm sure somebody can give advice.
My shower cubical has walls that are clad in like plastic planking that sits in a channel on top of the edge of the shower tray.Over the past few years i have attracted a small build up of limescale, i've tried Cillit Bang which did nt give that good a result. What i'm after is a limescale remover that does not attack plastic and would just remove limescale.

Hope you can help!!!

Most limescale removers should never be used on plastic so a gentler alternative is needed. Use warmed vinegar or lemon juice "painted" onto the area and left overnight. Rinse well in the morning and the limescale will dissolve away.
white vinegar not the one you put on your chips
I do not agree with Maidup- acidic limescale removers (such as Lime-lite) are perfectly safe on plastic materials (including acrylic)-- but acid-soluble materials (eg marble) should be avoided.
I'll try some of these, I've just spent a couple of hours trying to clean the screens, they don't look any better for it!
