When water is converted into steam, calcium and magnesium residues remain in the boiler. Over time, these residues form a layer that can reduce the performance of your garment steamer - or, in the worst case, even damage it beyond repair. That is why it is important to descale your steamer regularly. We recommend doing this approximately every 20 uses. Below, you can read how to do this easily.
To properly descale the garment steamer, start with the following steps:
Now we will prepare the descaling agent. See Step 2.
Vinegar dissolves calcium and magnesium. By mixing vinegar with hot water in the boiler, you can remove these deposits from your steamer.
Drain this water, which contains the calcium and magnesium, from the steamer through the special drain screw next to the on/off button (on the Professional Steamers). For the MIDI steamer, tilt the appliance and drain the water through the opening where the hose is normally attached.
Repeat this procedure a few times until the water coming out of the steamer is clean again and no more brown particles are visible.
