    Remove Kettle Limescale

    Depending on which part of the World you live in, you may notice that the bottom of your hot water kettle has sediments...remove limescale or your kettle dies! We provide these simple tips to remove limescale from your hot water kettles.

    1. Just Add Vinegar – It’s not just for chips you know!

    To remove limescale from your kettle with vinegar, try the following steps:

    • Fill a cup with half water and the other half with white vinegar.

    • Throw into your kettle, bring to the boil and leave overnight.

    The acid in the vinegar helps break down the limescale build-up and all you need to do the next morning is simply rinse out your kettle. You should have a sparkling, crystal clean hot water kettle again. (well, at least for a few days, until the limescale starts building up again)

    2. Try Lemon Juice – Great for Gin and Tonics, Also Great for Removing Limescale

    The citric acid in lemon juice works better in a lot of cases, than vinegar, in removing limescale from hot water kettles. Lemon juice also leaves a refreshing lemon smell in the bottom of you kettle.

    To get limescale removed with lemon juice, try the following steps:

    • Fill a cup with 50% water and 50% lemon juice and boil the mixture in your kettle.

    • Keep overnight and rinse out in the morning.

    You’ll soon be having that perfect cup of tea again, without worrying about limescale - what’s floating in the bottom of your kettle.

    Of course, both these limescale removing solutions only have a temporary effect. As the limescale builds-up, these limescale removal methods will have to be repeated each week or once a month, depending on how much limescale you have in your water supply.
