How to clean a kettle from heavy scale: 4 useful tips

SSPDaily has prepared tips on how to descale a kettle. Learn how to achieve perfect cleanliness with these effective methods.

Vinegar and water

A mixture of equal parts of white vinegar and water can effectively remove heavy scale from the kettle. It should be brought to a boil and then allowed to cool. After that, rinse the kettle several times with water to remove the residual vinegar taste.

Lemon and baking soda

Fill a kettle with water and lemon slices, bring to a boil, and remove from heat. After that, add a tablespoon of baking soda, leave the mixture for 15-20 minutes, and then rinse thoroughly.

Water softener

Using a water softener can significantly reduce the mineral content of the water, which will ultimately reduce scale build-up. If your area has hard water, purchasing a water softener is a cost-effective solution to prevent limescale build-up in your kettle and other appliances.

Regular maintenance

Every month, depending on the water hardness in your area, you can descale your kettle with vinegar or lemon juice. In addition, wiping the outside of the kettle with a damp cloth after each use will prevent dirt from forming.
