Today I am descaling the kettle. I gave the kettle a bit of a clean yesterday, and was amazed to discover that it boiled much more quietly than it previously did. No more “roaring”. SO thinking about this some more I decided to fully descale the kettle. I used to do this with the baby equipment such as the steriliser and the bottle warmer, so I roughly knew how to go about it.
TO DESCALE THE KETTLE IN 10 EASY STEPS
- Use 1 TBSP of Citric Acid per cup of warm water, dissolve. I used about 4 cups of water altogether, so 4 TBSP of Citric Acid
- Dissolve the acid in the water, then pour it into the kettle
- Boil the kettle then leave for 10 minutes
- Scrub around the inside with a dishbrush, there should be lots of ‘released’ limescale floating about now in lemon coloured water
- Empty the contents. How satisfying!
- Scrub and rinse again
- Refill the kettle with clean water and boil again
- Rinse again
- Refill the kettle with clean water and boil again
- Make a nice cup of tea with your amazing ‘just like new’ kettle!
