The Shining All-Purpose Descaler BioPod from MACK replaces descalers that are made from harsh chemicals and are contained in plastic.

The sachet itself is made from PVOH - a water soluble material that upon contact with water breaks down into natural molecules of carbon dioxide and water. The descaler solution contains: Sodium Carbonate, Citric Acid, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Dye (Food-Grade). Please note, we are not the manufacturer of the products sold on our website.

Did you know that ordinary descalers bought from the supermarket are "pre-mixed" and can contain over 90% water? That adds a lot of weight and size to the cleaning products available in supermarkets, which means more lorries are needed to transport them, contributing to higher carbon emissions. The thing is, you have water readily available at home, so it seems rather pointless transporting all that water around in the cleaning products. Descalers are also often made using harmful chemicals that are extremely toxic and damaging to the environment. Inevitably, these chemicals make their way into our rivers and oceans when they are washed down the drain. The MACK Descaler is completely different to any other on the market. It consists of a water soluble pod containing a super concentrated solution, meaning minimal packaging and no unnecessary water being transported around. They're made using completely natural ingredients which are harmless to the environment, but very powerful on limescale.

The MACK Descaler BioPod is packaged in a recyclable cardboard box.

Once you've dissolved the pod in water, simply recycle the cardboard packaging. The pod itself will degrade into harmless natural molecules in the water. Once diluted, because of the live nature of the descaler, it will last for approximately 3 months. After this time, the solution will begin to smell of sulphur (rotten eggs) or look off. When this happens, it can be safely disposed of down the drain.
