I have borrowed a couple of non stick saucepans sadly they have developed a white deposit in the bottom. As we Live in a hard water area I assume it is Calcium. Can I treat it with a descaler without damaging the non stick element?

You could try a drop vinegar wiped around with some kitchen roll first, some people also add some baking soda.

I used to use a weak vinigar solution on this stuff. What you don't want to do is scrub it as its abrasive. Brian
Usually, three teaspoons of bicarbonate of soda in about a pint of water brought to the boil and allowed to simmer will clean up almost any deposit from the bottom of non stick pans. To the extent that you can wipe them clean with a J cloth.
They need to be watched when simmering although even if you're a bit late the b.o.s won;t have evaporated away and you can just top up the water,
