Overview of selling points

Biodegradable

durgol universal bio is “readily biodegradable” at a rate of >99.5% within 18 days as per SGS INSTITUT FRESENIUS (OECD-301E test method). Free from perfumes, dyes and preservatives.

High descaling capacity

500 ml of durgol universal bio can dissolve approx. 30 g of limescale. Five times faster than citric acid or vinegar.

Safe to use, gentle on your appliances

durgol universal bio contains effective corrosion protection, making it particularly gentle on your appliances. The product is also food-safe, meaning that it does not leave chemical residue after descaling and rinsing.

Instructions

The correct dosage saves money and protects the environment. Depending on the amount of limescale to be removed, use the biodegradable descaler either undiluted or diluted with water at a 1:1 ratio.

Containers

Examples:
kettles, water jugs, saucepans, vases, flowerpots, pet food dishes, etc.

Depending on the quantity of residual limescale, fill the container with diluted or undiluted durgol universal bio so that it covers the limescale completely. Leave to act for up to 30 minutes. If the solution stops generating foam, but visible limescale is still left, the active substance is used up and you should add more durgol universal bio. Rinse thoroughly.

Flowerpots

To dissolve external limescale residue, place the pot in a larger container and proceed as described above. Then rinse the container thoroughly with water.

A powerful cleaning product that does not harm the environment? Is that possible?

During the development of the product, we attached particular attention to achieving a fast and gentle, yet powerful descaling effect. Strict regulations made this task extremely difficult. But we succeeded. The result is a product that is as powerful as other descalers, while also in compliance with all required environmental criteria.

How do I dispose of durgol products?

Tip: pour used descaling solution or any leftover product into your toilet bowl and leave it there until you next use the toilet. This has the following advantage: acid residue can dissolve limescale and urine sediment in the toilet.
All empty product bottles must be disposed of in domestic waste, even though all durgol bottles are similar to conventional PET beverage bottles. Unfortunately, manufacturers of products sold in PET containers but which are not intended for consumption are not eligible for membership of PET Recycling Switzerland. This means that the durgol bottles must be sorted out before the recycling process, even if they have been rinsed thoroughly.
