How to dissolve limescale on spout of tap?

How can I get rid of or dissolve a limescale buildup around the spout of several of the taps in my house ?

soak some tissue paper in vinegar and wrap that around the spouts, cillit bang is also a good option. leave it over night.

Cut a lemon in half and take the insides out except the juice, add some salt and put it onto the end of the tap for a few hours and the limescale should have been removed
