Calgon Power Gel

Calgon is a globally recognized brand specializing in water softening and washing machine protection products. Originally developed by the Calgon Composition Company in the United States in the early 1930s, the name is a portmanteau derived from 'calcium gone.' Over the decades, the brand has become synonymous with preventing limescale buildup in household appliances.

Today, Calgon is a flagship brand of Reckitt Benckiser (Reckitt), a British multinational consumer goods company. While it originated in the USA, the European supply chain for products like the Power Gel seen in the image often centers around manufacturing facilities in Italy and Germany. The brand is highly recommended by major washing machine manufacturers such as Bosch, Whirlpool, and Siemens, reinforcing its position as a market leader in machine maintenance and laundry hygiene.
