Those who remember Calgon's famous jingle — "washing machines live longer with Calgon" — know that this product is nothing short of essential for those living in hard water areas like London, the South East and East Anglia.
Hard water can cause limescale to build up in your washing machine, leading to unpleasant odours, reduced efficiency, and costly repairs.
Calgon tablets help your washing machine in four ways:
They remove limescale and other harmful hard water deposits
They soften water, protecting your washing machine and clothes
They prevent rust
They neutralise bad odours
Reviewers have highlighted how effective Calgon is at keeping their washing machines in working order.
One Amazon customer wrote: "Third time ordering. UK water is hard so it makes your drum in your [washing machine] smell, this helps a lot and it also softens the water for softer washing. Good value for money".
Another wrote: "[I] bought a new Bosch washing machine in January 2011, have used a Calgon tab in every wash for the last 15 years and it's never missed a beat, still going strong — brilliant price for 75 tabs, can't be beaten anywhere."

Lottie Moss reveals nightmare British Airways flight and exclaims she's had the 'worst experience' as she returns home from St. Tropez trip
Lottie Moss has detailed her nightmare flight after she landed in London Stansted on Saturday evening. The socialite and half-sister of Kate Moss took to her Instagram to update her followers about the mishap that happened on her way back from St. Tropez in the south of France. Supermodel Lottie, 27, tagged British Airways in her Story, where she appeared to be complaining about the airline. She explained how she was feeling worse for wear after going out five nights in a row and was still stressed as her luggage had yet to arrive on time. Wearing oversized sunglasses in her video, Lottie began: 'I cannot explain to you - please ignore my voice, I've been literally out every night for the past five nights in St Tropez - but, I've had the worst experience with British Airways today, I cannot even tell you. 'My journey starts at 8am and it's literally not even finished yet because the bags haven't arrived. The plane was four hours late.' Lottie went on to share how when the flight landed, passengers had to wait for a further 25 minutes before they were allowed off the flight. She continued: 'We landed, sat on the tarmac here for like, 25 minutes, and the bags still aren't here. It doesn't say awaiting baggage, it doesn't say baggage completed.' Visibly agitated, she added: 'I'm gonna lose my f**king mind.' Daily Mail has contacted British Airways for comment. Lottie was holidaying in the French Riviera alongside Love Island's Grace Jackson and model Roxy Horner. She was there on a brand trip for Bydee swimwear, and flashed her sensational physique in a jaw-dropping mirror selfie. The stylish bikini snaps come after it was reported earlier this month that former Only Fans creator Lottie is using her personal diaries to write a biography about her childhood and turbulent life in the spotlight. Lottie will not hold back as she reflects on her battles with alcohol and substance abuse issues, according to the Sun. It's understood that she has kept written and video diaries since she was a teenager and will be using them to reference her colourful past. An insider said: 'Lottie has always been known as Kate's little sister — but this is her chance to tell her side of the story. 'She has kept written and video diaries since she was a teenager, so will be compiling all her scribbles and memories into the book. 'Lottie is excited to tell the truth about her struggles with body image, addiction and relationships.'

Fraudster steals £64,000 from his own grandpa's life savings with fake job plot shortly after death of his wife
A FRAUDSTER has been jailed after conning his own grandfather out of his life savings. Aiden Frier, 26, faked photos of himself out on jobs to convince his family he had a senior position with a water company. Frier, from South Shields, convinced his own grandfather to hand over thousands of pounds for "courses" that never really existed. Frier since admitted the fraud and was jailed for two years at Newcastle Crown Court. His grandad, who had recently lost his wife, said his "world crumbled" after being persuaded by his sneaky grandson to hand over his life savings. The court heard how Frier invented his fictitious job with Swiftwater Solutions in 2021. He then went on to lie to his grandad and his mother about the job, creating fake bank statements and photographs of him "at work." Frier then began to ask his grandad for urgent financial help who happily handed over the cash to help him progress in his career. Frier's grandad believed the money would all be paid back. The court heard that in 2024 Frier's scam "escalated" with him forging emails from Revolut bank to back up his claims about his fake job. "Evil" Frier sat beside his grandad on one occasion and guided him through the process of applying for a £4,000 loan which was transferred straight to his grandson. The court heard how Frier managed to pocket a massive £64,414 as a result of his scam. AI scam-baiting GRANNY is taking dodgy calls so you don't have to - and wastes fraudsters' time by rambling about family The pensioner said in an impact statements that his "world crumbled" when the truth was exposed. He added: "I will never get over this. "I will always be scared after this and can never trust him again. "He needs to admit he has been evil by stealing from me. My life savings are gone." 2 Frier's grandad has been left terrified that he will receive a bill he cant afford to pay. The judge, Recorder Christopher Knox, said: "For three years and more you deceitfully stole what I understand to be your grandfather's entire life savings. "Savings he had made in the course of a long hard working life and which he wanted to be able to use to ensure he was going to be able to have a reasonable retirement." He went on to tell Frier that he had built a "fantasy life" and added: "You sent pictures to your mother pretending you were working. "It seems you were in fact pretending, using material you borrowed or stole from your flat mate to show you were working for this particular company and you sent pictures pretending you were at sea." Peter Sabiston, defending, said: "He is still a young man, he's completely isolated from his family, that is his own fault but it's an element of punishment that will be active long beyond any sentence imposed. "He is genuinely sorry, he feels shame, remorse and sorrow." Frier admitted fraud by false representation and was passed down a sentence of two and a half years. How to protect yourself from fraud USE the following tips to protect yourself from fraudsters. Keep your social media accounts private – Think twice before you your share details – in particular your full date of birth, address and contacts details – all of this information can be useful to fraudsters. Deactivate and delete old social media profiles – Keep track of your digital footprint. If a profile was created 10 years ago, there may be personal information currently available for a fraudster to use that you're are not aware of or you have forgotten about. Password protect your devices – Keep passwords complex by picking three random words, such as roverducklemon and add or split them with symbols, numbers and capitals. Install anti-virus software on your laptop and personal devices and keep it up to date – This will make it harder for fraudsters to access your data in the first place. Take care on public Wi-Fi – Fraudsters can hack or mimic them. If you're using one, avoid accessing sensitive apps, such as mobile banking. Think about your offline information too – Always redirect your post when you move home and make sure your letter or mailbox is secure.

Is good coffee the secret to a happy office? Nearly 100% of employers believe a brew is vital for staff wellbeing
GOOD coffee is regarded as a workplace essential to fuel businesses with 98 per cent of employers saying it plays a vital role in the wellbeing of their staff, according to a new poll. 82 per cent of employees say access to good coffee improves their mood and productivity. 3 3 More than two thirds (70 per cent) also highlighted coffee machine chats as the most sociable moment of their day - with 91 per cent viewing them as a hub for camaraderie and collaboration. Research showed this is important as 27 per cent of workers say they feel lonely or isolated, while 83 per cent say their workplace is an enjoyable space to be in and they feel happy at work. But happiness falls to just 22 per cent if the environment is not right And 45 per cent of hybrid workers say they would come into their place of work more often if there were more opportunities to socialise with colleagues. Despite these benefits, two thirds of survey respondents said they only have access to a kettle at work. Clare Hancock, Managing Director of Thrive London, which commissioned the research of 1,000 staff and 100 employers, said: 'When budgets are tight, investing in premium coffee may seem like a luxury but our research shows it's a priceless investment in people. 'The kettle hasn't moved with the times and the best workplaces are built around moments of connection. 'What we see from this research is that great, speciality coffee facilitates this.' She added: ' Coffee is the small thing that powers the big things — connection, creativity, performance.' Her company Thrive London - which she runs with her sister Emma - provides speciality high end coffee. 3
