9 best descaler

Limescale forming on household appliances is a layer consisting of calcium-magnesium salts. This layer is quite dense and porous, and not only causes deterioration of the appearance of appliances and reduces their performance, but can also have a negative impact on human health. That’s why it’s important to choose the right product for the job. How to do it and which products are worth looking at? This will be discussed in our ranking of the best limescale remedies

How to choose a suitable descaler

When choosing the right descaler, you must first take into account the intended use of the product to be treated (no less important is the fact whether the water in the household appliance is used for cooking or not). In addition, you should consider such criteria:

1. Safe for the human body;
2. The presence in the composition of aggressive substances – compounds that are dangerous for plastics and light alloys;
3. Form of release – for example, liquid means for descaling household appliances, unlike tablets and powders, do not emit toxic vapor in the process of cleaning.
