My wife was trying to clean our kettle
I said, it needs CLR
she asked what CLR is
I said Calcium Lime and Rust. There is also Lime-Away.
She put the CLR in there. Then she washed it out many times. All of the mineral deposits washed away. She rinsed it out with water many more times, and then eventually cleaned it with vinegar after rinsing it many times. At least, I think that’s how she cleaned it. She’s the kettle cleaner, I don’t know much about it, other than that CLR exists.
It was very clean for a few months.
We got a regular kettle after that
you know, it’s got a lil spout, you put it on the stove.
Why would you think that would be easier to clean? The water will still partially evaporate, and the mineral contents will also be the same.
Granted, maybe you got a kettle that is really hard to look into, which would “solve” the cleaning problem.
Right, I’ve heard of that. Never seen one in my life.
I second the citric acid tip, it dissolves the limescale really well, no scrubbing needed. How do you clean the stovetop kettle?
You don’t really need to clean it the same way. With the stovetop kettle, you can just use soap and water every time, maybe a little bit of vinegar. It’s all smooth inside, you see.
Ha, you funny little third world people with your weak and feeble electrical supply.
I don’t know why you don’t just make a kettle with two plugs.
