Full review

I have been reading the other reviews left about calgon and realised that previous reviewers may be using more than required!

I work for a chain of stores which sell electrical goods such as washing machines (but will keep the company name disclosed) and receive frequent training in product areas.

One of the most recent areas i have studied is the essentials section to make sure that my customers get the best out of their purchases at the lowest cost possible and calgon have been involved in these training sessions.

Yes calgon does reduce the limescale etc but from the other reviewers they think that this is only happening when calgon is added to every wash or every other wash. This is not true. We (as a company) have been told by a rep from calgon that in most areas only need to make use of calgon once to twice a week! This is based on an average family of fours washing in an average water area.

So forget about putting in a calgon table each wash, cut it down to 1 or 2 days a week, your machine will still reep the benifits but so will you piggy bank!!

Also when reading other reviews i saw no mention of use of detergent with the calgon tablets. Another thing which we were told during the training is that you only need half of the usual quantity of washing powder when the wash is being accompanied by a calgon table/powder.

Also, like anything, buying in bulk will save you money. In my store a box of 75 tables costs only £16!!

I hope this has helped...any more info please do not hesitate to ask
