Lime scale In Washer-Dryer!

[thelaundrylab]

Hey guys, Rob... lol sorry I wasn't around to read the rest of the posts, spent all day cleaning the house and did another maintenance wash, and divvy here brought more "scale away" only to learn it almost shifted all the limescale, so from 75%, it's gone to 85%. So you can imagine after all that, I'm a little disappoint, that I didn't wait another couple of minutes to read further posts made on this thread. Oh well, least I've learnt from my mistakes and teach's me not to be impatient as well lol.

But not to worry, I will buy some Kilrock in the next coming days Rob and then go from there... thanks for your recommendations and tips.

Once again thanks everyone

If you are unable to get any or at least any at a decent price try looking at a Catering Suppliers, I know for a fact you can buy a gallon of dishwasher descaler it works in all appliances with heaters and calcium build up cannot remember the cost but its worth every penny.
You may want to look into water softeners for glass washers too as they are large salt pots like dishwashers have inside but sit outside the machine and you can attach the inlet pipe to it you would have to salt every week with the amount of water a washer pulls through but if you gave it some thought you may be able to fashion a device that uses the salted/softened water to wash then tap for rinsing as its the heating that causes the scale I believe.

White vinegar is good - but I think citric acid is better.

You can even use those packs of sugar free lemonade (must be sugar free only) in your dishwasher becasue it's loaded with citric acid (smells good too), and will clean your dishwasher. I guess you could use them in your washer too.
