We all love enjoying a cup of coffee and tea from the comfort of our own home , but using your kettle regularly quickly causes limescale to build up. While the deposits don’t cause any health issues, the white grime with its calcium taste is enough to spoil any morning cuppa. And while limescale may not be bad for us, it can shorten our appliance’s lifespan. However, before you invest in a replacement kettle, consider a simple approach to eliminate even persistent limescale using a natural solution and ingredients you probably already own. A cleaning expert has revealed her simple technique to restore her grubby kettle to its former glory, and it only takes minutes. On her TikTok account @cleanupwithjo, she showed off the deposits inside her otherwise spotless kettle and said: “If you live in a hard water area you need this quick hack for descaling your kettle.” Jo said the secret ingredient required is white vinegar. “I prefer to use a natural solution,” she declared. She praised white vinegar as a “hero” for eliminating limescale. She explained you should begin by filling your kettle one-quarter full with water, then add the same quantity of white vinegar. Next, boil the kettle and allow it to bubble for an hour. To tackle any limescale that might have gathered in the kettle’s spout, Jo recommends saturating a cloth’s edge with white vinegar and inserting it into the spout, leaving it there for an hour. Showing off the results, she remarked: “You’ll see that the water has completely transformed.” She suggests using a toothbrush to scrub away any lingering limescale on the exterior of your appliance. She then employs Cif multi-purpose lavender and blue fern spray to spruce up the outside of her kettle and the handle. This product is available at Tesco for £2. “As long as you rinse it well it’s all good – sometimes I do a couple of full boils and pour away if I can still smell it,” she said to people worried about the taste of the vinegar affecting their coffee or tea. Her vinegar trick was lauded as “perfect” by fans, while others shared their own tips “Citric acid, works a dream,” one said. “Citric acid is my bestie,” a third chimed in. “I use lemon juice,” another fan contributed. ” Lemon juice does exactly the same thing,” another echoed.
