My descaler light came on my Keurig today.  I must have used up the solution 'cause can't find the bottle.

Any ideas as to what I can use to descale?  I just don't feel like running out to the store today!

Thanx.

I believe white vinegar would work well in the Keurig.  It is an excellent cleaner!

I have a mini Keurig and periodically run a cycle or two of vinegar and water to descale.

I agree with above posters, white vinegar.

I put 2 cups white vinegar, run it through the brew cycle twice, then run it 3 times with clean water.

Half white vinegar and half water.

@eddyandme    I keep Keurig rinse pods on hand.  They look just like a K-cup pods.  They work great.  You run a reservoir of water thru on the rinse pod...and then a follow up reservoir without the pod.  I have used these for years.  
The vinegar solution is a good idea too if you don't have rinse pods.

THANKS EVERYONE!  White vinegar it is!!!!  I always keep that on hand!

Like others, I do the vinegar method. Make sure you do 2-3 cycles with clean water. I made the mistake of only running 1 clean cycle, my first cup of coffee was less than pleasant!

And after descaling I only use filtered water from my Zero pitcher in my Keurig. I find the need to descale is a lot less frequent.

You can find the descaler at Walmart, Target, Keurig and many other places.  I don't see what the problem is, other than you don't have the descaler right at this moment.  My light has been blinking for about 6 weeks, but I'm not going to do it right now.  The unit is newer and it has only been a little while since I purchased the unit.  My old one died and I bought a cheaper model at Sams Club so I would not be without.
