Viakal is a well-known brand of descaling cleaning products specifically formulated to remove calcium carbonate deposits (limescale) and watermarks from household surfaces. The brand became a staple in European households, particularly in Italy and the United Kingdom, due to its specialized focus on bathrooms and kitchens. It is widely recognized by its distinctive blue packaging and signature formula that not only removes buildup but also prevents future water spots through its water-sheeting technology.

Originally developed in Italy, the brand's success led to its acquisition and integration into the global portfolio of Procter & Gamble. While highly effective for fixtures and tiles, it is often noted by household experts that it should not be used on food-contact appliances like kettles due to its industrial-strength acidic components. Manufacturing is centered in Europe, with major production facilities located in Italy to serve the continental and British markets.

Today, Viakal remains under the ultimate ownership of Procter & Gamble (P&G), a multinational consumer goods giant based in the United States. P&G manages Viakal as part of its Home Care segment, ensuring global quality standards and distribution through its extensive network of local subsidiaries and regional distributors.
