But in every house or apartment there is a tool that will instantly deal with the problem. Such an inexpensive product will cope with scale much better than household chemicals from stores and citric acid. We are talking about ordinary vinegar.
The benefits of vinegar for cleaning
All you need to do is fill the kettle with equal parts white vinegar and water. The mixture should completely cover the limescale inside the kettle. Then, you need to leave the kettle for at least an hour – enough time for the acid in the vinegar to not only affect the limescale, but also completely dissolve it, freeing the dishes from dirt.
After that, you need to turn on the kettle, bring the mixture to a boil. Leave the device in a boiling state for several minutes so that the acetic acid affects the limescale even more. The next step is to disconnect the kettle from the mains, let it cool down a little. Then it remains to clean the inner surface of the kettle with a brush or sponge. That's all!
According to experts, it is especially necessary to treat areas with scale. However, it is important to be careful not to scratch the inner surface of the kettle. After high-quality cleaning, you need to pour the mixture out of the kettle, rinse it thoroughly with clean water, removing any vinegar residues. If the scale is not completely gone, you need to repeat the procedure.
