Introducing our very own eSpares dishwasher and washing machine cleaner and descaler! This handy accessory is great for cleaning your dishwasher and washing machine deeply and effectively, improving both the hygiene and the longevity of your appliances. Let’s take a look!
How the washing machine and dishwasher cleaner and descaler works
Over time, the internal parts of your washing machine and dishwasher will start to suffer from grime and limescale build-up, making them a breeding ground for bacteria. In fact, according to British Water, even a mere 1.6mm coating of limescale on a heating element can make an appliance up to 12% less effective! That’s where the descaler comes to the rescue.
By cleansing your appliances and all their internal parts, the eSpares descaler not only leaves your washing machine and dishwasher spotless but also provides a range of other benefits too. These include:
- Removal of limescale, detergent build-up and common bacteria
- Boosting the performance of your washing machine and dishwasher
- Saving energy due to improved performance
- Keeping your appliances in working order for longer
- Banishing bad odours and providing a fresh scent
- Preventing harmful bacteria from forming
Cleaning your dishwasher
The best part about this handy cleaner and descaler is that it provides these amazing results whilst being super easy to use! To use it as a dishwasher cleaner…
