Do you know how to get rid of scale in the kettle? SSPDaily has told you how you can easily keep it clean.
Vinegar and water
Fill the kettle with water and vinegar in equal parts so that the scale is completely immersed in the solution. Then the mixture should be left for at least an hour, and if the scale is particularly stubborn, then longer. After that, you need to boil the kettle to get rid of traces of vinegar.
Citric acid solution
To prepare this remedy, dissolve 1 tablespoon of citric acid in a cup of hot water. Leave this mixture for about an hour, and then boil it. Wash the kettle thoroughly with a soft brush or cloth. Finally, rinse it with clean water to remove any citric acid residue and limescale.
Baking soda
Pour baking soda directly into the kettle. Use a soft brush or sponge to clean off any limescale inside the vessel, paying particular attention to areas with heavy accumulation. Then bring the kettle to a boil and let it brew for about 15 minutes.
