How does limescale form and why does the washing machine need to be descaled?Updated 4 days ago
Water contains calcium and magnesium ions as well as various minerals, which can lead to limescale deposits when water is heated. The harder the water, the higher the concentration of dissolved minerals such as calcium and magnesium ions. With hard water, the potential for the formation of limescale deposits is correspondingly higher. As water is heated in every washing machine, regular descaling is necessary! The dosage of detergent also plays a role: if the detergent is over- or underdosed, this encourages the formation of limescale deposits. The bluu washing strips are optimally formulated and already pre-dosed, they help to minimize limescale deposits in the washing machine. For thorough cleaning and descaling of your washing machine, we recommend using the bluu calcbusters every 1-3 months: Once a month for hard water and every 2-3 months for soft water. The calcbusters reliably remove limescale deposits and ensure an efficient, hygienic washing machine. This ensures that you continue to get the desired washing results and extends the life of your washing machine.
