Dishwasher descaler

Descaling your dishwasher, a necessity!

Dishwasher decontaminator reserved for professionals!

A dishwasher descaler is first and foremost a product composed of acid. As a result, descalers are corrosive and dangerous products to use . They therefore require protecting the agents responsible for descaling dishwashers, cleaning stations and small equipment using gloves, protective masks and goggles.

Why descale your dishwasher?

A dishwasher is very often supplied with softened water via an upstream softener or a general softener. As a result, the amount of limescale contained in the water is lower but not zero. In fact, the residual TH degrees are often between 7 and 12° while they can be above 30° before being softened.

As a result, there is limescale which will then settle under the effect of temperature on the walls , injectors, etc. of the machine but also on the dishes.

It is therefore necessary to descale the equipment regularly in order to preserve it and maintain the operating quality of the dishwasher.

My dishes are dull and white

Very often users complain about a deteriorating washing quality but it is simply the maintenance of the machine that is not carried out correctly.

The dishes will also become dull with repeated washing in the machine and glasses in particular will become more opaque.

It is therefore also necessary to regularly descale the dishes by soaking them in a sink or directly by putting the baskets of dishes in the dishwasher where descaler has previously been poured into the wash basin.

The machine and dishwashing descaling protocol

If the dishwasher is equipped with a detergent dispenser, it is obviously necessary to have switched off this dispenser when filling it in order to avoid mixing the detergent (alkaline) with the descaling product (acid). This would in fact have a contradictory effect.

Once the dispenser is off (the light must be off) , you can fill the dishwasher with water. Then manually add the liquid or powder descaler , respecting the dosages indicated.

Then run your machine for a few cycles so that all of the solution circulates through the arms and parts of the machine.

You can take the opportunity to pass baskets of glassware or other kitchen utensils that are not sensitive to acid (do not use aluminum) in order to descale them as well.

Then proceed to drain your machine.

Turn the wall-mounted dispenser back on . Start filling the machine again. You can then run the previously descaled dish baskets through to rinse them completely.

Dishwasher descaler but not only!
