Thermal efficiency and total protection against hard water
Laundry detergents, even premium ones, cannot completely dissolve the mineral deposits present in hard water. Over time, these minerals (especially magnesium and calcium) calcify on the heating element and the washing machine drum, causing increased power consumption and costly breakdowns. Advanced formulas like Calgon Hygiene Plus and Calgon 4-in-1 immediately neutralize these heavy metals, keeping vital components clean and preventing the buildup of soap scum that generates bacteria and unpleasant odors inside the machine.

Expert Advice: Frequently Asked Questions about CALGON
Does Calgon replace laundry detergent?
No. Calgon is an anti-limescale additive and washing machine protector, not a detergent. It is used exclusively alongside your regular detergent. Pour the detergent into the main wash compartment, then add the recommended dose of Calgon on top.
At what washing temperatures does Calgon work best?
Calgon products are effective at all water temperatures, from 20°C to 90°C. In fact, limescale deposits form more rapidly at high temperatures, so using Calgon in hot cycles at 60°C or 90°C is crucial to protect the heating element.
Is Calgon safe for all types of fabrics?
Absolutely. Calgon formulas are extremely safe and gentle on all types of materials, including wool, silk, or baby clothes. Moreover, by softening the water, Calgon helps the detergent act more efficiently, preventing the stiffness in clothes caused by hard water salts.
