You'll spend far more on calgon than it would cost to fix a fault
caused by limescale. A descale with a little hot acid every 2 months
is more practical. Citric works.


What if you have a 3 year manufacturer's guarantee and they tell you to
use Calgon. Will it be invalidated if you don't, or use a cheaper
alternative, like Sainsbury's.


3 years of using Calgon in every wash is more expensive than buying a
new washing machine


A box of 75 cosrs £13.69 which works out at £0.1825 per tablet.
Using one per day 7 days per week for three years comes out at under £200.
Our Miele cost around £600 ten years ago and still as good as new.

But wait a minute, you've been using the tablets for 10 years
presumably, cost well over £600.
