Descaling a dishwasher

Dishwashers are used on a regular basis which means that limescale can build up easily, especially if you live in a hard water area. To keep your dishwasher working as efficiently and effectively as possible, and to ensure that your dishes come out perfectly clean, regular descaling is important.

It’s for this reason that we highly recommend descaling your dishwasher at least once a year with our tested and approved dishwasher descaler. This professional care product protects the appliance against the build-up of limescale deposits, which can prolong the lifetime of your dishwasher and improve its performance. Please carefully follow the steps shown below for effective descaling results.
