descaling

Descaling is the process of removing limescale, a hard, chalky deposit primarily composed of calcium carbonate, from appliances that heat water, such as kettles, coffee makers, and boilers. This process typically involves using a descaling solution or a mixture of water and an acidic substance like vinegar or citric acid to dissolve and remove the limescale deposits, thereby maintaining the efficiency and longevity of the appliances. Descaling is particularly beneficial for individuals who frequently use water-heating appliances and want to ensure their optimal performance and durability.
