Descale Dishwashers with Kool-Aid
It’s not just your faucets and showerheads that require a good descaling every now and then. Your dishwasher is just as prone to having calcium buildups in places you can’t reach without tearing the unit apart. Luckily, there’s a neat and very colorful trick to get rid of calcium buildups.
In the detergent portion of your dishwasher, sprinkle an entire packet of Kool-Aid. You read that right. Kool-Aid is a great descaler thanks to the citric acid content. You can use packets of Kool-Aid to descale anything, from dishwashers to coffee machines and faucets. Just, you know, don’t drink the Kool-Aid afterward.
