While you might know it how to descale your Breville coffee maker or how to remove limescale from your shower glass For a streak-free shine, your kettle also needs some love.
I have found that using regular white vinegar works just as well as expensive cleaning products, especially in hard water areas where limescale builds up quickly. You also save money on cleaning products and energy bills, because a clean kettle heats up more efficiently.

Start with a completely empty kettle. Rinse it thoroughly with fresh water to remove loose dirt or build-up from the surface. Pay special attention to the spout and any visible limescale around the water level indicator.
2. Mix your solution

Fill your kettle halfway with equal parts white vinegar and water. The amount of vinegar you need depends on the size of your kettle. For one standard 1 liter kettle, mix ¼ cup of vinegar with ¾ cup of water. If you have a larger kettle, increase the mixture to ½ cup vinegar and 1½ cups water.
3. Cook and wait

Bring the vinegar mixture to a boil. Once cooked, let it sit for 20 minutes This gives the acidic solution time to break down the mineral deposits. If there are strong limescale deposits in your kettle, you can repeat the boiling process once during this time.
4. Discard and rinse
