Decalcifier 10L

Application

Special product feature

Citric acid being of food-grade quality it is better indicated than other acids for multi-purpose descaling in kitchen and sanitary areas, thanks to its unobtrusive odour and in virtue of its gentle effect on metal and plastics in kitchen and sanitary areas.

Ranges of application

The Decalcifier is to be used efficiently wherever heavy limescale deposit is encountered on fittings, tiles, toilets, cookware, coffee makers, washing machines, etc.

Application / Dosage**Use undiluted**

On fittings, tiles, toilets – where the Decalcifier cannot be heated – allow it to act for a few minutes, depending on the thickness of the limescale, then thoroughly rinse off with clear water.

Use diluted

On cookware and for decalcifying machines – where the acid can be heated and therefore is more effective.
