Limescale has always been your worst enemy during ironing: your iron becomes less efficient and wears out faster and you can no longer get a perfectly smooth shirt without creases. But worry not, help is at hand. Tefal has invented an exclusive system, the Calc Collector, which collects limescale in your iron and steam generator and guarantees long-lasting steam performance.

Tefal innovates to effectively fight limescale

Did you know? An iron clogged up by the limescale that occurs naturally in water produces less steam: the benefits of ironing are lost, and you can wave goodbye to perfect results! To ensure that your ironing goes smoothly, the Calc Collector system collects limescale directly within your iron or steam generator. The collector can be removed, making it easy to clean. This system guarantees long-lasting performance of your appliance.

Your steam generator will never let you down! Remove the collector in no time at all and wave goodbye to limescale. Even the smallest particles are collected: you will find no trace of limescale in your iron. Gone are the troubles of reduced steam power: ironing is easier, saving you time and giving you peace of mind.

For children to learn about healthy eating and to have fun cooking delicious, balanced food with their families and for schools to provide meals that are adapted to their needs. Alongside Cherie Blair, the wife of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Jamie openly criticised the quality of food served in British school canteens on his TV show Jamie’s School Dinners a reality show that revealed the shockingly unhealthy meals served to children in a south London school.

Launched by the Jamie Oliver Food Foundation in Britain and the US, and by the Good Foundation in Australia, Food Revolution Day calls on children and parents to learn to have fun cooking together using healthy ingredients. Jamie says: “My wish is to create a strong, sustainable movement to educate every child about food, inspire families to cook again and empower people everywhere to fight obesity.” Food Revolution Day is about celebrating good, fresh, real food cooked from scratch and to encourage people from all over the world to learn and share their knowledge with each other about food, where it comes from and how to cook it.
