What is "enkalker" in the USA?

Question

I want to protect my new dishwasher. When I was living in Germany I used special salt for dishwasher and every now and then I used the 'entkalker'. I can't find it in the supermarkets for dishwasher, only for coffee machines.

I will leave it to voters.

Answer 1

Maybe Dishwasher Cleaner? I used a cleaner that you pop in and run through a wash cycle, and it works great; I think it was made by Jet-Dry, not sure....

Answer 2

Do you mean Uncaulker? If so, you can just use dishwasher granular salt to help reduce clogging and water hardness residue. Do not use regular table salt or rock salt.
