If you have a soda stream in the house, you won’t have to lug around water bottles. With the push of a button, you can turn tap water into sparkling water and enjoy it.
What many do not know: The soda stream should also be decalcified from time to time so that it does its job for the long term. To properly clean your soda maker, you need citric acid or a citric acid descaler. You may even have it at home if you regularly remove limescale from your coffee machine or kettle.
This is how you descale the soda stream
First of all, follow the instructions on the packaging of the citric acid to dose the correct amount of the product. Pour some into the bottle of the soda stream and pour tap water up to the line. Now place the vessel in the soda maker and press the soda button for a few seconds. Then let the agent work in the bottle for about 15 minutes before throwing it away and rinsing the bottle with clean water.
So that all residues of citric acid are removed, bubble the bottle 2-3 times with clean water in the soda stream.
If you use your soda stream often, you should descale it every 2-3 weeks. However, this also depends on the hardness of the water.
tip: To keep the bottles clean longer and prevent germs from forming, it is better to drink from glasses than straight from the bottle.
