Easy to use, melts off the calcium deposits if you follow the directions, but don't wait too long between cleanings or you'll have to use multiple applications.

I had tried several other descaler products and found them to work only superficially. It always required a long soak and then it was never really clean. The light indicating the unit needed to be cleaned would back on in no time. This stuff cleaned it perfectly with one application. I'm just going to keep a supply of these on hand now.Best Deals for Air-O-Swiss AOS 7417 EZ Cal - Cleaner/Descaler - 3 pack
This cleaner did exactly what was expected. I had some green mold like substance in my humidifier (Air-O-Swiss). After using this product, the mold was gone and so was a moldy odor that was coming from the device.Honest reviews on Air-O-Swiss AOS 7417 EZ Cal - Cleaner/Descaler - 3 pack
I've tried cleaning my humidifier with vinegar, soap, etc. Nothing has gotten rid of the musty smell coming from my humidifier like this packet. You add this to about a liter of hot water, pour it into the base of your humidifier (I have an Air-o-swiss), let sit for 30 mins and pour out. When I turn on my humidifier, the air smells fresh and clean.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Air-O-Swiss AOS 7417 EZ Cal - Cleaner/Descaler - 3 pack
Initially we used this product because our water was very hard (on a hardness scale it was 498 ppm). The humidifiers would emit a white sticky dust that would get into everything, and was a royal pain to clean. Eventually we isolated the humidifiers as the culprit and then tested our water and realized that it was the real culprit. We bought additional EZCal packets to clean the humidifiers but had to go through multiple cleanings to get results which soon proved to be very expensive.We did some investigating (i.e., scouring the packet for clues and found that it was made by Urnex for Plaston (the makers of the Air-O-Swiss brand of humidifiers). We searched the Urnex website and found that they sell the descaler much cheaper and in larger quantities. Initially we purchased a box that had a total of 100 packets for $57, but that price has since dropped to $43 with free shipping. See http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004L8XB8A/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_10?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER It would be $1.29 for a 3-pack (without the Air-O-Swiss label). Compare that to $7.99 (at the time of this review, for a 3-pack of the Air-O-Swiss labeled package).
We continued to using bottled water (very expensive) and more frequent cleanings of the humidifiers with the Urnex labeled descaler, while we searched for a high quality Reverse Osmosis (R.O.) system. We ended up using one from SpectraPure (Tempe, Arizona) which is now a 5-stage system (one washable first stage, 2 cartridges followed by the R.O. membrane and a final polisher (cartridge) which dropped our water hardness to 4 ppm with new filters and when the hardness reaches about 50 ppm we replace the 3 cartridges for $26 (after about 10,000 gallons of water) and wash the pre-filter twice a year.
The result is we have very good water that tastes great, is better for cooking, and produces no white dust when used in the humidifiers. We use the descaler only seasonally as preventative maintenance. Ironically the humidifier made our air more breathable but the white dust that it produced got into everything and was hard to clean. The worst part is that we were actually breathing that white dust which coated our lungs and we were damaging them with the white dust. So if you have a lot of scale (calcium) production in the humidifier, please look into a high quality Reverse Osmosis system and consider using that instead of tap water which could be damaging your lungs when used in the humidifier especially if you notice any white sticky dust in the house. As a bonus, we're able to unscrew the Air-O-Swiss cartridge in the water container and run without it since we switched to using the water from the R.O. system.
