decalcifier
Dissolves mineral buildup
A decalcifier is a substance or device that removes calcium deposits.
Decalcifying solutions clean lime scale from coffee makers, kettles, and showerheads: Run the decalcifier through the machine once a month.
In laboratories, decalcifiers prepare bone tissue for microscopic examination by dissolving its calcium content.
