Cleaning Tips
and Hints

Limescale buildup in your kettle can affect its performance and the taste of your water. Using denture-cleaning tablets is a simple and effective way to remove these deposits. Follow these steps to keep your kettle clean and efficient:

Materials Needed:

• Denture-cleaning tablets
• Water
• Paper towels
• Clean cloth (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Fill the Kettle: Fill your kettle with water, ensuring it covers all the areas with limescale buildup.
2. Add Denture-Cleaning Tablets: Drop a couple of denture-cleaning tablets into the kettle. The effervescent action will help to loosen and dissolve the limescale deposits.
3. Let Sit Overnight: Allow the mixture to sit in the kettle overnight. This extended soaking time will give the tablets enough time to break down the limescale effectively.
4. Empty the Kettle: In the morning, pour out the water along with the dissolved limescale. Be cautious as the water may still be slightly warm.
5. Wipe Away Residue: Use paper towels to wipe away any remaining limescale residue from the inside of the kettle. For stubborn spots, you can use a clean cloth to scrub gently.
6. Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the kettle thoroughly with fresh water to remove any remaining cleaning solution. It’s important to ensure no residue is left behind.
7. Boil and Discard Water: Fill the kettle with water, bring it to a boil, and then discard the water. This final step helps to ensure any lingering taste or residue from the cleaning process is completely removed.

Additional Tips:

• Regular Cleaning: To prevent heavy limescale buildup, clean your kettle with this method once a month.
• Alternative Cleaners: If you prefer, you can also use a mixture of vinegar and water as an alternative to denture-cleaning tablets.
• Avoid Scratching: Use soft cloths or paper towels to clean the kettle to avoid scratching its interior.

By following these steps, you can effectively remove limescale from your kettle, ensuring it remains clean and functions optimally for all your boiling needs.
