ZojirushiCitric Acid Cleaner for Electric Water Boilers, 4 Packets (1oz/30g each), White

Easy to use, clear instructions and it works

This stuff works! I hadn't cleaned by water heater in a long time - a bit more than a year - and tried some of the homemade remedies that I saw online (vinegar, lemon juice, etc.) and those methods just didn't really work in getting rid of any of the scaling on the pot.So I bit the bullet and spent the money for this. It feels like it's more expensive than it needs to be, but the fact that one application worked perfectly in taking off ALL the scaling and cleaning the pot, I'm going to say it was worth it. But since the de-scaling really should be done every 3 or 4 months and not once every 15 or so months, it's a pricey bit of maintenance.So, I gave it three stars for value simply because it will become a costly maintenance device. And maybe some of those homemade remedies would work if I did them every months instead of waiting for the amount of scaling I had built up, and then use these just once in a while to give it a serious cleaning.I rated it five stars on taste not because I tasted it - I didn't, and you shouldn't: it's not food - but because I didn't want the taste rating to affect its overall rating.Does it do its job? Heck yes! Supremely well.Is it a good value for the money? That might be up to you to decide.

Great product

This simple to use cleaner helps refresh the inner workings of the Zojirushi coffee maker. Mix up the solution and run it through the tank with your coffee maker set on the cleaning cycle.The whole process of descaling and cleaning the various piping, tubing, and so forth is slow, so don't expect to run the cleaning cycle and get a fresh of coffee right away. This cleaner is superior to vinegar solutions I tried and does not leave your coffee maker smelling like a pickle factory.There are various places, including here, to review the instructions in English, and I do not think the perceived language barrier for this product hinders it at all.

Does just what it says cleans safely

Great cleaner for the water machine

This product works great! I got myself in trouble when I used a cleaning agent intended for Keurig that I have at home to descale my zojirushi kettle. The agent worked well for my coffee machine but for some reason it hardened the scale in my kettle, which then clogged the dispenser. When I pressed the dispense button, the motor makes a loud noise but would not dispense water. I was afraid that I had broken the kettle. I ordered this product and run a deep clean cycle and an hour and half later, my kettle worked again, with the interior completely scale free. Would definitely recommend it! Worth every penny.

Cleaning and work well
