You get eight seven-gram sachets in one tub, and although these sachets are some of the most expensive ones around, you don’t have to use them too often. Kettles can suffer with bad limescale if they’re constantly filled up with hard water. In short, hard water contains lots of mineral deposits like magnesium and calcium. Leave the solution to soak for an hour or ideally overnight. Remember to put a sign out so no one drinks from it!

Limescale is a naturally occurring substance and is not at all dangerous to consume. Tap water containing large amounts of limescale may not taste great though, and it often gives hot drinks a slightly salty or bitter aftertaste. If you already have a water filter, make sure it is clean and functioning properly. A dirty or clogged filter can actually make the limescale buildup worse. Choose the Right Descaling Solution

Preparation Before Descaling

At the end, you’ll need to boil and rinse the kettle out multiple times to clear any residue. And that’s your kettle descaled for another few months! It’s extremely straightforward!

The Need to Descale a Kettle

Fill your kettle with clean water and boil it once or twice to ensure that any remaining residue or cleaning solution is completely removed. Simply measure out equal parts white vinegar and tap water, then fill your water around three quarters full with the mixture. Moderate hardness water: If you have moderate hardness water, it's a good idea to descale your electric kettle every 2-3 months. This should be sufficient to prevent a heavy buildup of mineral deposits.
