Full review

I live in a very hard water area so gave Calgon (both the tablets and the boxed poweder) a try. You simply add them with your washing powder in the machine and set as usual. Simple.

They help in several ways, they reduce the build up of limescale around the heating element, they reduce the amount of electricity used per wash (due to better efficiency) and they also remove the limescale from any other place in the washing machine - the drum has never looked cleaner!

For a small amount of money paid in calgon tablets - I don't use tem every wash - I believe I am increasing the life of my washing machine, and that can't be a bad thing.
