How to Descale a Kettle

There’s nothing quite as gross as spotting flakes floating in your morning cuppa. These flakes are actually limescale which has accumulated in your kettle. Limescale gradually forms after repeatedly boiling hard water. It’s the result of magnesium and calcium dissolving in the water, leaving calcium carbonate behind. It’s not a health hazard to drink, but the texture is unpleasant and it doesn’t add to the taste. However, leaving limescale to build can affect the performance of your kettle and even damage it, especially once it covers the heating elements. 

But before you throw away your kettle, limescale can be easily managed using a few household products. Below, we’ll show you a few methods how to descale your kettle.
