Step-by-Step Guide
- Prepare the Machine: Ensure your Keurig is turned off and unplugged. Remove any pods from the machine.

- Fill the Water Reservoir: Pour the descaling solution into the water reservoir of your Keurig.
- Run the Descaling Cycle: Plug in your machine, turn it on, and start the brewing process without a coffee pod. Repeat this until the reservoir is empty.
