How to Descale Your Washing Machine and Dishwasher with Care+Protect Triple Power Pod

If you live in the UK, chances are you're dealing with hard water, which can lead to limescale buildup in your washing machine and dishwasher. Over time, this affects performance, causes unpleasant odours, and drives up your energy bills. The good news? You don't need multiple products or complex cleaning routines. The Care+Protect Triple Power Pod offers a powerful, all-in-one solution that makes appliance maintenance effortless.

In this guide, we'll explain:

·       Why descaling your washing machine and dishwasher is essential

·       The energy-saving benefits of regular maintenance

·       How the Care+Protect Triple Power Pod works

·       How often to use it

·       Tips for keeping your appliances fresh and functional

Why Descaling Is Essential for UK Homes

Limescale is a hard, chalky substance made of calcium carbonate. It builds up when hard water is heated—inside your appliance’s pipes, heating element, spray arms, and drum. Most of the UK experiences hard or very hard water, which makes regular descaling especially important.

The Problems Caused by Limescale:

·       Reduced Cleaning Performance: Limescale can block spray arms and coat internal parts, leading to cloudy dishes and dull laundry.

·       Increased Energy Consumption: A scaled heating element takes longer to heat water, using more energy per cycle.

·       Unpleasant Odours: Built-up grime and limescale create a breeding ground for bacteria and mould.

·       Shorter Appliance Lifespan: Limescale can lead to corrosion and mechanical failures, costing you more in repairs or replacements.

Just 1.6mm of limescale can reduce your heating efficiency by up to 12%. That translates to higher electricity bills and slower wash cycles.

A Smarter Way to Descale: Care+Protect Triple Power Pod

You could go through the effort of buying separate descalers, degreasers, and sanitisers—or you could simplify your routine with the Care+Protect Triple Power Pod.

What Is It?

The Care+Protect Triple Power Pod is a monthly-use cleaning pod designed to:

·       Descale internal components

·       Degrease hidden parts like filters and pipes

·       Sanitise the entire machine

It works for both washing machines and dishwashers, making it a versatile, cost-effective solution.

Why It Stands Out:

·       All-in-One Formula: You don’t need multiple products—just one pod.

·       Use During Normal Wash: No need for a separate hot empty cycle.

·       Low-Temperature Performance: Effective even at eco and lower temperatures.

·       Monthly Use: Prevents limescale before it becomes a problem.

·       Backed by Leading Brands: Recommended by Candy, Hoover, and Haier.

Whether you’re doing laundry or cleaning up after dinner, you can maintain your appliances during your normal wash cycles. Simply drop the pod in the drum or basket and let it work its magic.

How to Use Care+Protect Triple Power Pod

For Washing Machines:

1.        Place the pod directly into the empty drum.

2.        Add your regular laundry (optional – it’s safe to use with clothes).

3.        Start your normal wash cycle at any temperature.

For Dishwashers:

1.        Place the pod in the cutlery basket or bottom of the machine.

2.        Add your dishes and usual detergent.

3.        Start your normal program.

That’s it. No prep and no extra rinse needed. The Care+Protect Triple Power Pod gets to work while your machine is running.

Energy-Saving Benefits

A cleaner appliance is an efficient appliance. Descaling with the Care+Protect Triple Power Pod helps you:

·       Reduce cycle times by improving water heating efficiency

·       Lower your electricity bills with optimised performance

·       Extend appliance life, delaying costly repairs or replacements

·       Avoid re-washing due to poor cleaning results

Plus, because the pod works during a normal cycle, you’re not wasting extra water or energy on a separate maintenance wash.

How Often Should You Use It?

For most UK households, we recommend using the Care+Protect Triple Power Pod once a month.

This frequency keeps:

·       Heating elements free of limescale

·       Filters and pipes clean and unclogged

·       Bacteria and mildew at bay

Each pack contains 6 pods, giving you 6 months of complete protection.
