Descaling is a process used to remove mineral deposits, commonly referred to as scale, that accumulate over time on various surfaces and appliances. Scale is predominantly composed of calcium and magnesium ions, which are commonly found in hard water. The purpose of descaling is to restore optimal functionality and efficiency to affected devices and surfaces. It is particularly essential for items that come into contact with water, such as coffee makers, kettles, humidifiers, dishwashers, and plumbing systems. Over time, the accumulation of scale can impede the proper functioning of these appliances, leading to reduced performance, increased energy consumption, and potential damage.
