Coffee machine descaling as your own brand
We formulate food-approved descaling for coffee machines that dissolves limescale without any aftertaste, ready to be sold under your brand.
Why lime in a coffee machine is a taste problem
Coffee machines are exposed daily to heated water through narrow pipes and a brewing unit where scale buildup quickly affects both the taste and flow rate. Unlike the descaling of a dishwasher, the requirement here is stricter: the product comes into contact with beverages consumed directly, which places demands on food-grade acid without residual taste.
What makes it food-approved
The formulation is based on citric acid or another food-approved acid in a controlled concentration, sized to dissolve limescale in the brewing unit, pipes and steam pipes without requiring extensive rinsing or leaving a residual taste in the next brew — a balance that distinguishes the product from industrial descaling where residual taste does not play any role.
Our chemists help you customize the coffee machine descaling according to your market.

So we help you prepare your own coffee machine descaling solution
1) Product proposals: We listen to your needs, your vision for design, colour and fragrance – and your ecolabelling goals. The product is designed to meet legal requirements and, if you wish, the criteria of the Nordic Swan Ecolabel, Bra Miljöval or the EU Ecolabel.
2) Sample and price: We provide samples and price proposals based on our needs analysis. You will have the opportunity to try the product and ensure that it fulfils your requirements before making a decision.
3) Authorisation: Once we agree on price and results, you authorise the product for production.
4) Launch: We handle the purchase of materials and manufacture the product in our factory, where the quality management system is certified to ISO 9001. When the products are ready for sale, we deliver them to you on pallets.
Industries where there is demand
Coffee suppliers and office service companies that already sell beans, machines, and maintenance contracts are a natural channel, as are hotel and restaurant wholesalers — always as a separate product from cleaning milk frothers, which requires a protein-dissolving agent instead.
Common questions about the descaling of private label coffee machines
Can the coffee machine descaling also clean the milk frother?
Does the descaling agent leave a residual taste in the coffee?
Is the descaling process different between a fully automatic machine and an espresso machine?
Is there a difference between powder and liquid descaling?
Case
Häxan AB
One successful customer case that we are extremely proud of is our collaboration with Häxan AB. Super entrepreneur Mikael Söderlindh bought the company with the aim of creating top-class cleaning products that carry a recognised ecolabel such as the Nordic Swan Ecolabel – and we took full responsibility for both production and getting the label approved. The goal was to match or surpass the leading products on the market, and to get more companies and consumers to choose ecolabelled cleaning products.
COOP Trading AB
One of our most successful collaborations is with COOP Trading AB. At Cleano, we have helped them in particular to create three different brands in their range. It starts with us creating the recipes. Then we allow COOP to design the product design based entirely on their wishes. Afterwards, we purchase the inputs – such as bottles, labels, caps or spray guns – and deliver them to COOP in cartons.
