FAQs

How often should I descale my appliances?

The frequency depends on your water hardness and appliance usage. Generally, descaling every 1-3 months is recommended for optimal performance.

Can I use Oust on my washing machine or dishwasher?

While Oust is versatile, it's best to use products specifically designed for washing machines and dishwashers. Always check your appliance manual for recommended descalers.

Is it safe to drink water from a kettle descaled with Oust?

Yes, provided the kettle is rinsed thoroughly multiple times after descaling, as per the instructions. Insufficient rinsing may leave a taste.

What should I do if I accidentally ingest Oust descaler?

Rinse your mouth with water and drink plenty of water. Seek medical attention if you feel unwell or experience any adverse effects.

How do I store the remaining sachets?

Store the sachets in their original packaging in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children and pets.

Can I use a full sachet in a small travel kettle?

For smaller appliances, consider using only a portion of the sachet, or follow specific instructions if provided by the appliance manufacturer for smaller volumes.

Troubleshooting

Appliance still has visible limescale after treatment.

A second treatment may be necessary for heavily scaled appliances. Ensure the correct amount of descaler was used and the solution was allowed to work for the recommended time.

Appliance is not heating or functioning correctly after descaling.

Ensure the appliance has been rinsed thoroughly. Check that all descaler solution has been completely emptied and the appliance is reassembled correctly. Consult the appliance manual.

A white residue remains after rinsing.

Rinse the appliance again with fresh water, potentially running a full cycle with clean water to flush out any remaining particles.

Unpleasant smell or taste after use.

This indicates insufficient rinsing. Empty and rinse the appliance thoroughly with fresh water several times. Run at least one full cycle with clean water only.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

This descaler is suitable for most common household appliances where limescale is an issue, including:

Kettles
Coffee machines (including espresso makers)
Steam irons
Shower heads
Other hot water appliances

Always consult your appliance's user manual before descaling to ensure compatibility and to follow specific manufacturer recommendations. Some delicate materials or finishes may require alternative cleaning methods.

Setup & Use:

Empty the appliance of any existing water or contents.
Open one 25ml sachet of Oust All Purpose Descaler.
Add the contents of the sachet to the appliance. Refer to your appliance's manual for the recommended amount of water to add. Typically, for kettles, you fill it to capacity.
If descaling a kettle, boil the water. For other appliances, follow the manufacturer's descaling cycle instructions.
Allow the solution to work for the recommended time (often around 6 minutes for kettles, or as per appliance instructions).
Crucially, empty the appliance completely and rinse thoroughly with fresh water multiple times to remove all traces of the descaler. This is vital for safety and to prevent any taste transfer.
Run a final cycle with clean water only (e.g., boil a kettle full of clean water, or run a coffee machine cycle with plain water) to ensure all residue is gone.

Care:

Store sachets in a cool, dry place, away from children and pets.
Ensure the appliance is properly rinsed after use.
Do not mix with other cleaning products.
