Liquid "Calgon" - reviews of specialists

Today in the household chemistry stores and the corresponding departments of supermarkets there is so much variety of products that it was impossible to even dream about earlier. However, such an abundance can play a cruel joke with the buyer, in fact it turns out that it is not at all easy to determine what kind of remedy is really needed. In this article, we'll try to figure out if Kalgon is needed for washing machines. You will also find reviews of consumers and professionals here.

Just note that a lot of positive comments, which you may have already met more than once, are not always proof of the quality of the product, because they can simply be fabricated.

Advertising company

Each of us at least once heard of such a "savior" of washing machines, as "Calgon". Even those who do not have any relation to washing and to the household as a whole, remember the sensational advertisement. Indeed, "Calgon," which is highly controversial, is an extremely popular product. For many years, this remedy has been used for every wash, simply by convincing convincing advertising. Everyone knows the problem of scale, and "Calgon", according to the manufacturer, is able to permanently rid us of these inconveniences and extend the life of the washing machine.

Needless to say, in just a few years, the company's sales have increased more than 20 times? So, do you need to believe advertising means "Calgon"? The testimonies indicate that it is not easy to answer this question unequivocally. Opinions on this score vary widely, and one contradicts the other.

Range

In the modern market, products for every taste and color are presented. Everyone can choose the most convenient option for themselves. In the shops you can find:

• "Calgon" in tablets;
• "Calgon" is a powder;
• Liquid "Calgon".

Reviews about the last most positive. At least, consumers argue that in this form, the tool is the least dangerous for some parts of the machine.

Advantages of "Calgon"

Among the main advantages of this product the manufacturer calls:

• Protection from scale;
• Ensuring cleanliness inside the machine;
• Prevention of unpleasant odor;
• Longer washing machine life;
• Savings for washing and electricity;
• Different forms: tablets, powder, "Calgon" -gel.

Reviews about each of the species, although slightly different, but generally say that without this product you can safely do without.

How to use?

The manufacturer claims that the product can be applied to any type of laundry: white, colored, etc. "Calgon" is combined with any powder, as well as with liquid gels for washing. It is recommended to use it every time. The product must be filled into the main compartment of the dispenser after you have already put the powder there. It is best to use "Calgon 2 in 1". Reviews of some buyers say that it not only prevents the formation of scale, but also neutralizes the salts present in the water.

Is scab is so terrible?

At the sight of a spiral covered with a huge layer of spirals from the advertising of the "Calgon" tool, one can not help worrying about his own typewriter. After him, there is a desire to prevent the formation of a raid and acquire a miracle cure. In fact, it turns out that a layer of scale can not be formed in such a way in a washing machine. That insignificant amount that, one way or another, appears in the course of washing, can be easily removed with ordinary powder.

It turns out that the problem is not so terrible, as the manufacturer of the means of "Kalgon" paints it. Experts' feedback demonstrates that this product is not as necessary as it seems at first glance.

The main causes of breakdowns

Despite the fact that advertising means the main reason for the failure of the machine calls it scum, experts who deal with the repair, note that this is not so. According to them, most often the device ceases to function properly due to:

• Wear of parts and components;
• Clogs (small metal parts, such as clips, buttons, pebbles, slip through the drum);
• Breakage of TEN (this is already associated with scum).

As we can see, the malfunction of the heating device due to the accumulation of scale on its surface is only the third most frequent cause of breakdowns, which is at variance with the opinion of the producer of the Kalgon facility. Customer feedback indicates that the coating is formed even with the constant use of the product. Therefore, we can safely talk about his helplessness in the fight against this problem. Experts also note that the use of the product not only does not affect the washing machine positively, but, on the contrary, has a negative impact on it. Rubber parts are rendered unusable due to some components that make up the Kalgon tool.

«Calgon 2 in 1»: reviews

Most people who constantly used the tool in the hope of keeping their washing machine safe and sound are ultimately disappointed. Everything happens like this: the machine breaks down, the specialist comes, and it turns out that some of the details have become unusable because of the scum. Surprising owners have no limits, because they used the "Calgon"! Note that the coating on the elements of the machine appears in those cases, if you often erase at high temperatures. It turns out that even "Calgon 2in1" can not cope with this problem.

The testimonies indicate that the remedy is simply a waste of money. Those who often faced the problem of the appearance of scale, advise not to throw the finances to the wind, buying various funds, such as the alleged saving "Calgon". In their opinion, one should pay attention to water hardness and the most frequently used washing mode.

Of course, there is another side to the coin. Some people who use the remedy remain quite happy with the effect. Buyers, whose machines do not break for a long time, rejoice and praise the properties of the product. However, in most cases, this is not due to Kalgon, but to the fact that the owner uses the device correctly, cares about it, chooses washing regimes or simply the water in his apartment is less rigid than some. That's the whole secret!

A variety of tests conducted by scientists demonstrate the inefficiency of the product. Experts' reviews compare its use with the addition of sugar in honey, that is, with the case completely useless. It turns out that the positive feedback from consumers is nothing more than their blind faith in the effectiveness of Calgon.

Price list

On average, a pack of "Calgon" can be purchased in the price range from 150 to 200 rubles per 500 grams. This amount of funds with constant use will suffice for a month. Thus, in a year you will spend about 2000 rubles. At first glance, not so much, but if you think about the real effect of the product, it turns out that the amount is impressive. If you consider that the replacement of TEN will cost you less, on average - no more than 1300 rubles. It should be noted that without any purges and preventive maintenance, the heater is regularly used for 3 to 5 years. It turns out that it is easier to change the heating device once every three years than to spend money on the useless "Calgon".

However, if you still want to somehow protect your machine from scaling, the tool can be made independently at home. To do this, it is sufficient to mix sodium tripolyphosphate and soda.

conclusions

Summing up, it can be concluded that the production of "Kalgon" is not so necessary. Comments from consumers and professionals in the repair and production of washing machines indicate that the tool not only fails to cope with the task, but also has a negative impact on the quality of some important rubber parts of the machine. In any case, only you can make the final choice. You decide who to believe - the words of manufacturers who are interested in increasing sales and providing all kinds of certificates that allegedly guarantee quality, or perhaps comments of real people who have used the tool for a long time and can objectively judge its properties and tell about costs that did not justify themselves .

In any case, with or without "Kalgon" it is necessary to take care of your washing machine and use it correctly. Before you start washing, check to see if there are any small parts in the pockets of clothing that can slip through the drum and damage the "insides" of the device. Pay attention to the hardness of the water, if the level is much higher than the norm, it may be necessary to take appropriate measures. And of course, it's important to choose the right washing mode. It is not necessary that things rotate in boiling water, it is quite enough of average temperatures that everything should be washed off qualitatively.
