  • Everyone else is saying vinegar, which will certainly work.
    But if you’re like me and cannot stand the stench of vinegar, then I recommend citric acid. 2 tablespoons to a liter of water is a good place to start, but you can most likely find dosage specific to your machine with some googling.
    Also, you can get ~2kg of citric acid for 15~25 $or€. I use it to descale everything from coffee contraptions, to shower heads; and a big bag of it lasts us 1½ years. Our water is fairly hard too, about 160 TDS.


  • It is a combination of how tall the front is, and if it sweeps backwards a bit, or is practically perpendicular to the ground.

    What matters is how likely a pedestrian is to be pulled under the vehicle, instead of pushed up onto the hood. You can have a fairly tall grill, if it is angled backwards somewhat. And it won’t be a near instant death bulldozer for pedestrians.
    Tall and flat is the most dangerous combination, and that is exactly the trend of most big and giant trucks & SUVs.
