It was easy. I finally got some vinegar and filled it up and let the kettle sit overnight. Rinsed it and gave it a wipe with a wad of paper towel and the scale and residue from the scale is all gone.
Shoulda done it earlier. The wasted psychic energy, every time I peered in and saw the scale…
Vinegar! I knew I’d forgotten something just now at the shop. Our water is quite calcareous, so I add a little every load of dishes. Once bought 20 litres of it online, gave the courier a bit of a laugh.
I showed my mom what white vinegar can do to limescale.
My parents live in South Africa so limescale isn’t a major issue, but some builds up in kettles over time.
So I told her about vinegar, put some in the kettle and you could basically see it dissolving and breaking up in real time.
