Limescale builds up quickly inside kettles, especially in hard water areas, leaving flakes in your drinks and slowing the boil. Descaling is fast and uses simple pantry items.
Step-by-Step Guide
Fill With Vinegar and Water
Add equal parts white vinegar and water until the limescale is covered.
Boil and Soak
Bring the solution to a boil, then let it sit for 20 minutes to dissolve deposits.
Scrub if Needed
Pour out the solution and gently scrub any remaining scale with a soft sponge.
Rinse Thoroughly
Rinse several times and boil a fresh batch of water before using it again.
Pro Tips
- Descale monthly in hard water areas.
- Use lemon juice as an alternative to vinegar.
- Empty the kettle after each use to slow buildup.
Final Thoughts
A descaled kettle boils faster and keeps your drinks free of flakes. A monthly vinegar boil is all it takes to keep it clean.
