Essential Values Ice Machine Cleaner and Descaler 16 fl oz Descaler | Ice Maker Cleaner Compatible with All Major Brands (Scotsman, KitchenAid, Affresh, Opal, Manitowoc)

I have an Igloo brand countertop ice maker that holds about 1/2 gallon of water to make ice. Over the few months that I have had it, I’ve had a hard time keeping it free of hard water build up in the bottom of the water tank. And every time I used it (about once a week) there was always some black mold present that I would clean by hand using typical kitchen cleaning products (409, Dawn dish soap, etc), but it was a lot of work and still wasn’t getting the hard water build up out, no matter how much I scrubbed. So I decided to give this product a try. I don’t have a cleaning feature on my machine, so I put 2 oz of cleaner mixed with 1/2 gallon of water into the tank and ran it to make ice. After the tank was 1/2 empty, I added another 1 oz of cleaner with 4 cups of water and ran it again. When the tank was nearly empty, I filled it with just clean water and ran it again until nearly empty. I poured out the excess water and wiped it dry. I was so pleased that all of the hard water build up was gone! I can only assume that any build up or mold I’m not able to view inside the machine was also cleaned out. I will definitely be making this a part of my cleaning routine. Highly recommend!

Good cleaner

Really happy how well it worked. Just takes some time to run through. Easy to use.

Works as it should! Helps to keep our ice maker clean.

Went through an entire bottle trying to get rid of hard scale. While a lot of stuff came out during the multiple cleaning cycles, it didn’t stop the noise being made by hard scale buildup. Ran straight vinegar through the cleaning and ice cycles and it worked way better to stop it. Works perfectly now. I gave it 3 stars because a lot of gunk did come out.

I have purchased this a few times over the past two years as we use our ice machine for daily use. Works well and does NOT have a funky smell. We use 1/4 of the bottle for each clean. Does not leave a taste behind on the ice either. A great cleaning solution for your ice machine.

It cleaned the ice machine really well. It’s a nice size bottle and I think we should get several uses from one bottle.
