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.
