FAQs
Is Room Care R8 safe for all kettle types?
It is generally safe for standard electric kettles, but always check the manufacturer's care instructions for your specific appliance before use.
Do I need to dilute this product?
No, Room Care R8 is a ready-to-use formula and should be applied neat.
Can I use this on marble or natural stone?
No, R8 is an acidic descaler and may damage or etch sensitive surfaces like marble, limestone, or other acid-sensitive materials.
Is this product safe for surfaces that touch food or water?
Yes, but you must thoroughly rinse the surface with clean, potable water after cleaning to remove all chemical residue.
How should I dispose of the empty bottle?
Rinse the empty container thoroughly and follow your local recycling guidelines for HDPE plastics.
Troubleshooting
Limescale remains after application
Increase the dwell time of the product on the surface or perform a secondary application with light mechanical agitation using a soft brush.
Bottle arrived with a screw top instead of a trigger
This is intentional to encourage the reuse of existing trigger spray heads. Simply swap your functional trigger from a previous bottle onto the new unit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the R8, ensure the bottle is correctly identified via the color-coded label. If your order arrives with a screw top, simply transfer the trigger spray mechanism from an empty, cleaned R8 bottle to ensure reuse and minimize environmental impact. Always store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and keep out of reach of guests. When cleaning, avoid using on acid-sensitive surfaces like marble or certain natural stones. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) as dictated by your facility's safety manual, and ensure the area is well-ventilated during application.
