How to clean a kettle — 7 simple steps

How to clean a kettle .

That layer of limescale in your kettle isn't just unsightly — it's making your morning tea or coffee taste weird and your kettle work harder than it needs to. While you might know how to descale your Breville coffee maker or how to remove limescale from your shower glass for a streak-free shine, your kettle needs some TLC too.

I've found that using regular white vinegar works just as well as expensive cleaning products, especially in hard water areas where limescale builds up quickly. Plus, you'll save money on both cleaning products and energy bills, as a clean kettle heats up more efficiently.

This kitchen cupboard staple tackles even the toughest limescale without harsh chemicals. In this guide we'll walk through how to clean a kettle — whether you're dealing with buildup, want better performance, or just need your kettle looking fresh again, here's a natural way to get it sparkling clean.
