Abstract

Compositions for the removal of limescale comprise aryl sulfonic acids, optionally, acid stable bleach compositions, and, optionally, sulfamic acid. The compositions are used in a process for removing limescale as aqueous compositions. The pH of the compositions is from about 0 to about 4. The compositions provide improved performance for equal reserve acidity.
