MACHINE ROUTINES
Pick the appliance and follow that job.
The appliance changes the cycle, soak time, and rinse sequence. Open the one you need and follow it through fully.
WASHING MACHINE
Washing Machine
1 SACHET (50G)
Best for internal drum scale, repeat smell, and hard-water buildup in machine internals.
- 1Keep the drum empty. No clothes, detergent, or other cleaner inside.
- 2Add 1 full sachet directly into the drum.
- 3Run a hot empty cycle at 60C or above.
- 4Keep the cycle at 60 minutes max.
- 5Run one immediate plain rinse cycle after it finishes, then wipe the gasket and drawer.
FREQUENCY: Monthly in hard-water homes, or every 6 to 8 weeks where buildup is lighter.
Do not use within 24 hours of a bleach cycle.
GEYSER
Geyser
1 SACHET (50G)
Best for storage geysers that heat slowly, rumble, or keep building scale in tank and element zones.
- 1Switch off mains power first.
- 2Drain the tank fully.
- 3Refill with water and add 1 sachet dissolved into the tank.
- 4Heat once to max 60C, then let it sit for 1 hour.
- 5Drain fully and flush with 2 plain-water rinses before normal use.
FREQUENCY: Every 3 to 6 months, depending on TDS and heater use.
Only use on tanks and linings that are suitable for descaling. When in doubt, ask the manufacturer or a technician.
IMMERSION ROD
Immersion Rod
1 SACHET (50G)
Best for rods coated in visible scale that are heating slower than they should.
- 1Unplug the rod and let it cool fully.
- 2Fill a bucket with room-temperature water and dissolve 1 sachet.
- 3Soak the rod for 1 hour.
- 4Rinse under running water for 30 seconds and dry before reuse.
FREQUENCY: Whenever visible scale builds up, usually every 1 to 3 months in hard-water zones.
Never descale an immersion rod while plugged in or still hot.
NEED A DIFFERENT ROUTE?
Using a coffee machine or kettle instead?
Start with DescaleX for coffee machines, dishwashers, and showerheads. Start with DescaleX Bio for kettles and food-contact appliances.
GOOD TO KNOW
Do not use within 24 hours of a bleach cycle (chloramine gas risk).
Do not mix with detergent or any other cleaner.
Run washing-machine descales on an empty drum, hot cycle 60C+, max 60 minutes, then one rinse cycle.
Switch off and fully rinse geysers and boilers before returning them to regular use.
Immersion rods must be unplugged, cold, and rinsed before reuse.
